Description

Spanish 3 Course Overview

This class is approved by the NCAA.

Spanish 3 continues where Spanish 2 finished. This year, we finish the blue book and PERHAPS begin Excelerate Spanish, Book 2 — depending on the amount of out-of-the-book-material we do.

While the method is the same as for Spanish 1 and 2 with a Difference, we add some focused grammar study, advanced tense usages, more challenging reading, and culture as the student advances and matures in understanding and being able to communicate. During the second semester, IF the student is ready, we also begin reading the Bible.

Students who are new should read a more detailed description of the method in the Spanish 1 or 2 descriptions. A brief placement assessment will be administered so that we can give your student the best opportunity to succeed in Spanish.

Thank you so much for all that you’ve done this year and for how much you’ve helped me learn! This Spanish class has been LEAPS and BOUNDS better than the last one that I tried, and didn’t have me crying almost every day like the last one! Thank you thank you thank you! You make learning the language seem like an achievable thing!

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into my class this past year. It was my favorite Spanish class I’ve ever taken, and I feel like I have such a deeper understanding of Spanish.

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!
