Spanish+1+Notes

1. To find online notes that we've taken, scroll down to the one you need.



I did this in a hurry. If you have any questions or doubts about what letters I have written please ASK, or look below. There is a much neater graphic with explanation and examples of pronunciation. I'm more than glad to correct any of the hard-to-read problems that I have created.

Songs, practice, and pointers on learning the alphabet:

Older Señor Jordan one. Practice your pronunciations along with him. It will help you greatly.

Señor Jordan otra vez. Good practice with about how to think about the letters.

Lección 2:     =We dealt with another verb that means 'to be' last chapter, and we dealt with this one a little bit. Below are the forms and meanings of 'estar' because it doesn't conjugate like a 'regular' verb.= 


 * If you find yourself stuck at home, not understanding what is going on, go here **
 * and look for the video/section that you are having trouble with. Jordan talks very quickly, but unlike me, he has a pause button. I suggest skipping the 'Ser v. Estar' video and 'The Three Enemigos' video for now. The last video in this section that you need to watch for now, is the 'Present Tense IR Conjugation' video. You can pick and choose of course, but Jordan likes that you go in order. Do what you need to do to help you understand. **

=To practice '-ar' verbs, and their endings, watch the first :35 of this video:=
 * -ar verb practice**


 * To practice '-er' and '-ir' verbs, and their endings, watch the parts of these videos that you need: **
 * -er verb practice **
 * -ir verb practice **


 * To learn a song that helps you remember the order of the endings, and to remember the endings as well, watch the following video - AND SING ALONG (or at least lip sync): **
 * [|¡B-I-N-G-o/-as/-a/-amos/-an!]**
 * Song for -er endings**
 * Song for -ir endings**

=If you're too cool for that version, or if you just want to change it up a little bit, practice -ar/-er/-ir ending verbs, watch the following video, that explains the concepts a little more (via SONG!):= =(or maybe this is more your style)= = = =When you feel that you have the concept down, take the following quiz. Use any of the videos to help you through it if you need to. I will come around to look see how you're doing.=
 * Conjugation Song**
 * -ar Conjugation Practice Game **


 * Here is a link to a verb practice app **
 * that I haven't had a chance to look at yet. Maybe give it a shot, and let the class know if you get any use out of it. There might be an Android build of it as well. If you're an Android person, maybe find out? **

=Calendario=

even if it doesn't *really* start the week like the Spanish calendar does. It is still good to see, to hear, to repeat, and to LEARN the days of the week in a way that's different than the way we do it in class.
 * Song to help you with the days of the week**

Here are some other people going over what it is that you just took notes over/read, have a look at them, and decide which ones: How-to vid Another! Slower explanation Question-ey Christmas carol Another - but better, and SHORTER "Jingle Bells" song to help you memorize the question words.

<span style="color: #9d1e1e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 32px;">Lección 2.3 - Present tense of 'Estar' (and prepositions)

The forms of 'Estar' are above, and included with the 'Conjugation' section of Lección 2 above, if you need to review the forms of 'Estar' and how it conjugates. At this point I am going to assume that you know, or have a pretty good idea of how to conjugate it.



Sometimes 'estar' is used with certain prepositions to say where someone or something is (LOCATED -> like: 'to the right of', 'behind', etc.

We will practice this lots in class, but the general construction for it is as follows:

=More help with videos from Señor Jordan; you really should watch these. They are helpful. His videos give you the same info I've given you, but he does it in a different way, and unlike me, you can watch him over and over if you need to. You should also seek out his other videos, and let me know which ones you found helpful, and I can link to them here.= =I would suggest trying some of the activity/quiz/test/ videos that he has has made for you. They are a good way for you to see what you know.=

Remembering uses of ser - the song is toward the end 'Ser' with conditions and chaaracteristics - review (but good to practice) Remembering uses of estar; with hints to help you remember Describing feelings with 'estar'

5.2 Vids: Present progressive fr Señor Jordan - watch the vid he suggests first (maybe).

__DOP Notes - L5.4__ Sr. Jordan introducing DOP Part 2 of Sr. Jordan's explanation Sr. Jordan helps you remember with a song - actually pretty good and helpful if you learn better that way. If you like 'Gringo español' explanation of things better.... This video is much more conventional, and is more similar to the way we'll do it in class.

Gringo español - great resource. If you need to review DOP, you can click the link in the video, then come back to IOP.

As always, if you find more study materials that you find useful, send me a link and I'll put them on here.
