The first lessons for the elementary curriculum are up! I'll be adding more each day. Remember, if you are an elementary teacher looking for resources to share with your students, please message me directly and I can add you for FREE!

Update - I have finished the graphics for elementary units 1-5 and just have unit 6 (5 lessons) to go! I'm hoping to be done with these tomorrow and begin making the elementary curriculum available by the end of the day. The elementary subscription cost will be $10/family for 6 months' access and FREE to elementary educators through the remainder of the school year. Stay tuned and I will let you know when we go live!

Hi all! It's been a while - my new teaching position as taken all my time and energy. However, as I'm located in Washington State, I now find myself with at least 6 weeks before I can return to teaching. So.... time to finish up and go live! Some important updates:

ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM
The entire Level 1 homeschool elementary curriculum should be up by the end of the week. That's 30 lessons designed to span the course of a school year. Of course, you don't have to space them out, and I'll see what I can do to add supplemental resources as well.

Pricing -- During the duration of COVID-19 quarantine periods, I am hoping to offer the homeschool elementary curriculum at a steep discount. I would do it for free BUT I do not own the curriculum and instead am collaborating with Lisa Horvath and she also has an illustrator. Together they have invested a lot of time and resources (as have I), so I am going to negotiate with them to offer this curriculum as affordably as possible.

INDEPENDENT STUDY
Once the elementary curriculum is up, I will start publishing the independent study courses designed for middle school students and older. These I CAN offer for FREE as I own all the material and have paid for 3rd party subscriptions, but if you can afford it I would appreciate any donations you can offer since I have invested quite a bit of time, energy, and money into this project. If you can't afford it, no worries. And, as always, feedback, suggestions, and shares are free and always appreciated!!

Draw me a picture, and I'll tell you a story about it in Spanish!

We're excited to offer a new interactive activity, Storify Me! Everyone can participate! All you need to do is visit the link below and download the "Storify Me!" worksheet. Fill out your answers and draw pictures - no need to be perfect! Finally, you'll email Globalinguae your illustrations ([email protected]).

Once we get them, we'll tell you a story about your pictures at YOUR level! Using your pictures, we'll create a one-of-a-kind video story in Spanish and post it on Youtube - submit your illustrations now to see what surprise story we have for you!

Are grammar rules real?

Here's a simple analogy for explaining the role of grammar in language acquisition. In case you missed it, Dr. Bill Van Patten used this analogy at to explain the fruitlessness of memorizing endless grammar "rules". If you were there, I hope you find my video useful for explaining this to others!

Is grammar real? Well, is it? We spend enough time learning about it in school I should think so.... This video and analogy was inspired by the Keynote speech by Dr. Bill Van...

I'm thinking I'll be ready to launch for beta testing in under 24 hours!

If you or anyone you know wants to test my first unit for free, send them over to Globalinguae.com ASAP to let me know as I'll only be accepting a limited number of free beta testers!

¡Es video viernes! ¡Bailamos!

Cha cha slide en español con letra This video is about Cha cha slide

I finished the third and final song for the first unit! I'm really not sure which one I like best. This one is pretty dope jaja

Me llamo Profa. ¿Cómo te llamas? Mucho gusto. Me llamo Profa.

This story is based on true events. But none are more true than the last three lines...

Soy una muchacha No soy un muchacho. Y las ballenas no son humanos.

Here's another sneak peek of what's coming! Yes, there will be a music video to this. Don't worry, Jim Wooldridge, I won't forget to thank you when I receive my Grammy ;)

Me gusta así Me gusta morado. ¿Te gusta morado?

I have exciting news! The entire site for the first unit is done! All I have left to do is finish creating the media and embed it into the pages. Hopefully, I'll be ready to send out invitations to create accounts and get started next week! In the meantime, here are some screenshots from the mobile platform!

Want a preview of some cool technology that will allow you to have discussions in Spanish on *your* schedule? I'm using it to build the core of my Globalinguae class! Check it out at Globalinguae.com/VoiceThread

was a fantastic conference - and I got SO much out of it for Globalinguae! I just finished creating the first two interactive voice activities - yes, you'll be able to interact with others in Spanish on your own timeline and in your comfort zone!
