Spanish 3 Course Overview

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!

Some of the children are in college now, and some are in the work force, each one walking a God-directed pathway. [...]
