:ghost: Spanish teachers are creating lots of fun content for day of the dead. These are a few of our favorites: Digital Altar, Infographic, Video, and Spooky Video.

:teacher: A school in Peekskill, NY is offering free Spanish courses to student’s parents

:shield:Cambridge University published a study exploring how long it takes to learn a second language. Long story short, it’s a more complicated than simply studying for 600 hours.

Quick Share

Share this pronunciation resource with students that aren’t picking up the Spanish accent as quickly as their peers. It’ll allow them to practice speaking common Spanish sounds, vocabulary, and phrases from the comfort of their own home.
