Sample program path
How the course can develop
This example shows one possible progression. The order and depth change with the group and contract.
- 01Practice greetings, introductions, numbers, and colors
- 02Explore countries, landmarks, and geography
- 03Learn action words through music and movement
- 04Develop vocabulary through storytelling and art
- 05Practice conversational language around food and everyday situations
- 06Review and share learning in a final fiesta
How we adapt it
Adapted for age, experience, and schedule.
Younger students learn through call-and-response, movement, pictures, and simple labels; older students can use longer phrases, dialogues, and cultural presentations. Beginners concentrate on high-frequency words, while experienced groups extend conversation and description. Short formats focus on greetings, music, and art; longer programs add culture, practical dialogue, and a final presentation.
