Description

Spanish 2 Course Overview

This class is approved by the NCAA.

This class is part of the MyFunScience live online homeschool classes, which provide structured instruction for middle school and high school students. Families can explore all of our homeschool foreign language courses.

This live online Spanish 2 class builds directly on the foundation established in Spanish 1. Students expand vocabulary, strengthen grammar, and continue developing conversational fluency.

Spanish 2 continues using the Comprehensible Input (TPRS) approach. Students deepen their listening, reading, and conversational abilities while grammar continues to develop naturally through meaning, repetition, and clear explanations when helpful.

Students will speak, understand, and read Spanish from the first week — continuing to grow in fluency and confidence throughout the year.

What Class Looks Like


Course Structure & Expectations

Students should plan on approximately 30–40 minutes of work each day, four days per week, in addition to the live class session.

Students continue working through the core text used in Spanish 1 while reading one or two additional novels completely in Spanish during the year.

Because the course incorporates significant “out-of-text” material, we move through the text intentionally and thoroughly while expanding vocabulary and comprehension.

Scripture memory, praise songs, hymns, contemporary music, cultural exploration, foods, and games remain integrated throughout the course.

Parents: Please contact the instructor if your student has dyslexia or other learning differences.


What Families Are Saying

My daughter just finished her second year of Spanish with Mrs. Mac. What a blessing her teaching and experience has been!

I just took the university Spanish placement test and tested out of their college Spanish requirement!

You’ve challenged and stretched her, and she’s learned so much. She really enjoyed your class.


Required Materials

Novels planned: TBA by the end of July (approximately $7 each).

Marji McIlvaine - Teacher - MyFunScience.com

Marji McIlvaine (and her husband Rick) homeschooled their six children from K-12, even though she was just going to “try it for one year” with her first five-year-old. The children are all graduated and several are college graduates (2 Magna Cum Laude, 1 Summa Cum Laude). Some of the children are in college now, and some are in the work force, each one walking a God-directed pathway.

Marji has a B.A. in Spanish from the University of Florida, with graduate hours in linguistics and testing and assessment (ECU). Marji began her college career as a pre-veterinary major and garnered many college hours enjoying science.

Growing up in south Florida, she went to SeaCamp in the FL Keys where her passion for marine science was ignited through snorkeling, scuba diving and the hands-on study of ocean life.

Marji McIlvaine been teaching other homeschooled students in a variety of subjects for almost her whole homeschooling life. Marji has studied seven languages (Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, and Arabic) and worked at UF as a bilingual secretary to a professor in the Animal Science department, thereby fusing her interests in science and language. She teaches Spanish 1-4, French 1-3, elementary Spanish classes, a unique language survey class, and middle school chemistry and marine science classes to homeschoolers of all ages in the mountains of western NC.

She also teaches high school marine biology classes, Spanish, French, German, and a broad spectrum of history classes to all ages as well. You might say that she is living proof that God will use whatever interest we give him to advance His purposes, and that nothing we give to him is in vain.

Marji is an advisor to the Board for the Henderson County Homeschool Association, administers the Woodcock-Johnson IV test to area homeschoolers, and is honored to have been included as a workshop speaker at the NCHE Homeschool Conference for several years.

One of her joys is helping her children and other students see the fingerprints of God in every discipline we study – science, foreign language, communication, and history, and helping them learn to use their God-given gifts and interests for His purposes in their lives. There is always more to learn and more to explore – every subject we study is an adventure into some facet of the world and of God!
