Description: Spanish 3 builds on the basic grammar skills and vocabulary learned in Spanish 1 and 2. The course is taught primarily in Spanish, and students will be expected to speak Spanish as much as possible in class. The class will cover advanced grammar topics such as the past imperfect tense and the subjunctive. We will spend more time on extended reading and writing assignments at this level, with an emphasis on Latin American legends. Any student who has completed Spanish 2 is welcome to join the class, even if they did not have Spanish 2 in the 2024-25 school year. Scheduling Note: If this class is small, it may be shortened to 60 minutes with more individualized attention. Tutor: Becca Patenaude has B.A. in Spanish and k-12 Education from Concordia College. She taught high school Spanish before she decided to stay home with her children. In recent years she has worked as a tutor, homeschooler, and as an assistant teacher at a Spanish immersion elementary school. In college, she lived in Guatemala and has traveled extensively in Central America doing short term missions work. Becca is passionate about helping students to develop confidence to speak Spanish in real-life settings. In the classroom, Spanish is spoken as much as possible with the goal of an immersive language experience, but English is spoken when necessary. Spanish will be practiced in a variety of ways to target all types of learners. Becca lives in Bloomington with her husband and 5 children (ages 2-19), and enjoys hiking, gardening, and travel. Cost:
$231, $241, or $251 per semester (depending on registration
date)
