Early Start Spanish -

Starter Pack 1: “Tú y Yo”A gentle, step-by-step start for young beginners, with careful attention to pronunciation, developing listening- and speaking-skills, and cultural awareness. Topics covered:-

See REAL Spanish childrenTo introduce children to language and everyday life of modern Spain, we filmed real children and families in the towns of Calahorra and Nájera in la Rioja region of northern Spain - an area rich in history and culture.

Talking about what you seeThe Teacher’s Manuals highlight specific “talking points” which are stimulated by the films, and their images of children’s lives in Spain. Each pack provides the teacher with interesting background information to help pupils compare what they see with their own lives and community around them. Find out about: ■ Festivals and celebrations ■ Sports and pastimes ■ Places in Spanish towns ■ School life ■ Typical meals at home & school ■ Famous figures from Spanish history and culture

■ In the footprints of dinosaurs in Spain...
