Oh this just encouraged me as a English speaking Mom. My son is currently learning Spanish in 2nd grade (full immersion). Your teaching style would be perfect for him. He can read Spanish well but struggle with comprehension and some writing. Came across your video while looking for ways to learn myself and ways to help him. You’re and amazing teacher, keep it up. Wish you were teaching at his school.
This was a fantastic example of CI and circling! As someone who just took some Spanish in high school (and then said never again, went on to learn another language instead) I actually got something from it :)
¡Genial! Alejandro, I'm so happy to hear that this was helpful. What questions or content would you like me to cover next? I'd love to continue making videos to help you feel confident going into your teaching career! Congrats on landing the teaching role. :)
Love it ! One thing, we need to make an effot pronouncing those "r's" correctly and as close to native pronunciation as we can. I have americanized my pronunciation and Im trying to get my native accent back. I have noticed students do not understand when you pronounce the words correctly but when you change your accent a little bit to american accent they understand much better and it should not be. We want them to understtand native speakers.
I feel you're the best person to ask. I know so much of Spanish, French and Italian. I can read anything in front of me. The natives understand my every word. My trouble is understanding the natives talk in films and etc. I use the subtitles in THEIR languages, never English. It all makes sense when the subtitles are on. They correspond to the sound of the words fully. When I remove subtitles, it becomes a blur again. I've had this problem for years. Except face to face. The natives adjust their speech so that I get it. I'm from Britain and the natives say that despite my half English/half Spanish accent, they totally understand me.
hello! As a fellow gringo in the exact same boat, I will describe what has helped me! I went to Spain for 2 weeks and understood basically nothing for 4 days but afterward it just clicked and I met my best friend in the world. This inspired me to improve my Spanish as much as possible. -First: learn exactly how things were pronounced differently. I imagine after learning three different languages you should be familiar with the IPA but learn how exactly each sound is pronounced. It is not important to reproduce these but more so that these sounds will have a specific place in your brain and will be less approximate. -Second: listen. I struggled a lot talking with my friend in a group of his friends. I embarrassed myself and remained quiet. TH-cam I think is the best solution. The problem is really finding things you're interested in. If you have a Spanish friend with even marginally similar interests, your recommendations will get a lot better. This recommendations should also be in the target accent!! Eventually after a day or so of watching someone's content, I decided I understood them enough to take off the subtitles. TH-cam will teach you jokes and memes and colloquialisms which will help a lot with real Spanish speaking people. Another thing that helped was me asking my friend to put whatever Spanish song he was listening to in a playlist and share it with me. After maybe a week of Spanish TH-cam for maybe an hour a day, I was able to converse in the group and honestly every other situation is easier than that.
I started listening to Spanish spoken in a programme called "Hotel de los Secretos" with my eyes shut. Eventually, I understood several of the sentences without their Spanish subtitle. Then I watched a totally different video with a different Spanish accent and it was more tricky.
@@davidmacdonald9159 what you said is true about the listening. I've never put myself through intensive listening before. Just given up too easily. This time, I persevered and it took a few nights of listening to it for an hour.
This is awesome! I primarily teach elementary kids. I want to try to use more of low prep CI on my whiteboard. Creating highly visual lessons takes so much time.
Es claro que se esfuerce mucho pa asegurarse de llevar tu mensaje a sus alumnos. Desafortunadamente, a muchos maestros (como los míos) realmente no les importaba nuestro exito. Al menos, agradezco todo su esfuerzo (y espero que sus almunos lo agradezcan tb).
I just used (& cited!) your video for one of my assignments toward my teaching credential. Love your teaching style! I want to stay in the target language as much as possible when I teach Spanish too. Thanks for the videos!
Hannah, that's awesome!! Congrats on your progress towards the credential. I'd love to read your paper if you're open to sharing! My email is at the bottom of the Redshift Education website: redshift-education.com
I love the strategy of staying on the TL but Kroger, Aldi, etc. are definitely not examples of almacenes. You should have used: súper, supermercado, mercado.

One small appreciation. We don't say AL-ma-CÉN. We say al-ma-CÉN. Both al and ma are equally low tones. Spanish fluctuates with tones more flatly kind of like Japanese, while English is more up and down constantly
I know this was just an example but do you offer an online version of this course? This is exactly the kind of class I've been looking for but I cannot find it anywhere except for examples. But I'd like to take a whole class. This is great! Or do you know an online school that does this?
Hi, there! I've offered a small-group online course about how to stay in the target language weekly across 8 weeks. If there's interest I'd be happy to start it up again!
@@MariaJernigan And for me it's more to be a student than teach. I should of clarified. I just want to be in a class. I've been learning Spanish for about 2 months now and have been looking for a comprehensible input class exactly like this.
Hi again, Matthew! I have taken on a few select students who want to learn Spanish in the past. Can you send me more information about what you're looking for? You can DM me at @RedshiftEduc on Instagram or Twitter. :)

I love your strategies, I really do, but please work on the accuracy of your content. I am not criticizing your accent or anything, doesn't matter, but please take a few moments to check for accuracy. Your CI is somewhat off here.
@@MariaJernigan Igual en México se dice supermercado. Pero supongo que en algunos países se dice "almacén." Lo importante es que los estudiantes aprendan cómo utilizar el vocabulario en su contexto. Regionalismos se aprenden poco a poco. :)
FYI she is teaching them the gender of the word, which is why she is including "la." Knowing if something is masculine/feminine is not obvious to us non-native speakers
@@MariaJernigan ' Para cuestiones de cosas miscelaneas y principalmente comestibles sí; pero no si se trata de artículos indeterminados, ya sean para la venta o no
Is not correct when she writes "Qué significa", it means the "concept" so, It would be better make the student look for this "word" in the Dictionary. Images are very helpful resources when Teaching new "words". So, she would have some pictures of "warehouses" or "almacenes". Just a suggestion to make better the learning of the Student and understand better than only "listening" teaching. As we have different kind of learners, we must use many resources when teaching.
Yo Lo Que No Entiendo Porque Esta Enseñando Español, Sabiendo Inglés. A Uno Que Le Cuesta Mucho Aprender Su Idioma, Por Favor Enseñanos Inglés El Español No Interesa.
Kroger is a supermarket. Almacen means warehouse. Two different things.
Could it be like a dialect difference or something? I was taught almacén for grocery store too (South American teacher), depósito for warehouse

Love your style of teaching please make more videos. This is the first video I have ever watched and actually learned like 20 words at one time
Thanks for watching!! Are you trying to learn Spanish?
This was a great example of CI. I am going to be a first year teacher soon, so I thank you so much for this. I am inspired by you. Thank you! 😀

I would ask: "Conoces Aldi/ Kroger?" Saber is for knowing information or knowing how to do something.
This is great. Thanks.

Or, ‘tienda’

me enamore de la profesora
Imagine doing that for every single word in the Spanish language.
Pensé lo mismo, 17 minutos para una sola palabra 🤦🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️
I know! I’m like as much as I love Her enthusiasm and energy- this would be exhausting fur every class!! Imagine having more than one a day too!!
Kroger y Aldi son Super mercados, no almacénes! NY & Co., Foot Locker, Forever 21,etc., son almacénes. I like your facial expressions.
Gracias por comentar, Delia! De dónde eres?

Same thing I was thinking!!

No María, un almacén tiene mercancías (goods)
Quizás "supermercado" sería una palabra apropiada!

I love your teaching spirit and passion. American teachers teach better than Spanish natives!
Gracias! :)
What is happening here: "fácil" is definitely not a synonym of "simple." They do not mean the same thing in Spanish. You should have used "sencillo."
Your letter e in almacen should sound more like ay -fellow gringo Spanish teacher that also does not have a perfect accent ;)
Why the Galician flag?
if that is the galician flag...
ok it is cool so why?
My school has a relationship with a school in Galicia!
