Children are exposed to the different phonetic sounds of the Spanish language through songs and conversations. As they listen to words and sentences, language comprehension is facilitated by the use of hand and body gestures as well as the use of props. Classes focus on listening skills, vocabulary development, language comprehension, social skills and fun.
