Overwhelmingly, what students want is conversation practice. The majority of the students that have taken classes with me aren't learning it for academic credit. They want to travel abroad, have better professional opportunities, or communicate with loved ones who are Spanish speakers.The strategy in this workbook is what I use in live classes. It has been extremely successful for students of all ages. In addition, it's how my husband improves his English. Since his needs are for immediate communication within the house, with myself and our daughters. I start by introducing the yo form only with regular verbs. Students only have to remember the -o ending (Traditional workbooks teach 12 new pronouns and 6 endings for every verb). Then, we add in the tú form, with two more endings, so that we can ask and answer questions. By doing this, students speak right away. They are also practicing to most used forms of the verb, (yo and tú), which is more practical for their goals. This is why you will find common verbs and vocabulary that can be used in everyday life, around the house, or in the car. Students who are able to practice the vocabulary on a daily basis are more likely to retain it, as well as continue to study Spanish. This book focuses on the present and preterite tenses, specifically for conversational purposes. You will practice conjugating 20 common verbs with interrogatives, and over 250 common vocabulary words. This is the first in a series, where you can choose to expand and continue on to learn more tenses and verb forms.

After nearly a decade of teaching languages, I have yet to meet a student (myself included!) who needs to say that he/she climbs mountains or rides a horse. So, why do all language programs start off with these ]common] words? With all of my students, from children, to teens, and adults, we start by identifying the verbs that are going to be useful to their lives. Using agendas has been a strategy of mine for years now, but I wanted to make it available for all learners to benefit from. Spanish Month-by-Month is a Spanish language agenda which helps students both focus on specific verbs that they want to practice, but also to include Spanish in their daily lives. Monthly, weekly and daily agendas help students record their activities and events in Spanish. They identify which verbs are the most important for their Spanish goals. In addition, the agenda can be used as a review, practice between classes, and to reinforce different verb tenses. It comes complete with the 60 most common Spanish verbs and templates to practice the verb conjugation in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person forms. Those who will benefit from this agenda are Spanish langauge learners who have an immediate need for the language, those who want to speak with family, friends or neighbors about everyday topics, and students who struggle with verb conjugation. The book can be used over and over again, as needed, for beginner to advanced students, and those of all ages. Ideal for Spanish students in middle, high school or the university, adult learners, expats living in a Spanish speaking country, homeschooling families, Spanish teachers and more!
