Spanglish Fantástico is a set of video lessons. They use a mixture of strong Spanish cognates and English to present the learning. The videos have text and the sound together learners can get a good grasp of pronunciation. These are lessons that I am teaching in class, and teachers can watch them and copy the lessons easily. There is a strong focus and emphasis on speaking Spanish in these lessons. My learners access the videos in 2 ways: either they watch the videos before the classes to boost their confidence in class and in preparation for speaking; or they watch the videos after class to review what we have done, and to give themselves time to take it all in at their own pace. (A third way they are using the video books is to catch up with lessons that they are unable to attend). If you are a teacher and want some ideas for your classes, or if you want to recommend some easy to watch videos to your students, then I would love to share my work with you.
