Need help deciding which level is for you? Here’s a quick summary of each level:
Spanish Level 1 (Beginners)
Great for parents who are just starting out or need a refresher. We’ll focus on the foundations—alphabet and pronunciation, greetings, numbers, colors, family, food, and simple sentence building. Parents will also learn regular and stem-changing verbs, irregular “yo” verbs, commands, and vocabulary such as body parts, clothing, and daily routines.
You might be ready for Level 1 if you’re new to Spanish, know just a few words, or want to build confidence with the basics.
Spanish Level 2 (Continuing Learners)
Designed for parents who completed Level 1 or already know the basics. This course continues with more advanced grammar, richer vocabulary, and expanded conversation practice. Topics will include reflexive verbs, past tense verb conjugation, future tense verb conjugation, direct & indirect object pronouns, superlatives and more. Parents will build greater fluency and confidence using Spanish in a variety of real-life situations.
You might be ready for Level 2 if you can introduce yourself, hold a short conversation in the present tense, and are ready to expand into new grammar and vocabulary.
Parents can choose the level that best fits their experience—or attend both classes for extra practice and faster progress.
