Category Description for Speedy Spanish

Focusing on conversational Spanish, Speedy Spanish emphasizes words, phrases, and sentences prior to introducing grammar. This is a wonderful way to encourage elementary to middle school students to converse with neighbors or classmates whose primary language is Spanish or use it to lay a foundation for upper-level foreign language studies!

This is a Christian program with a focus on use in the missionary field. Speedy Spanish is now printed by Christian Light Education. There are two levels (years) available. Older students can work independently.

·         Level 1 (updated in 2023) teaches 500 vocabulary words including numbers 1-10, months of the year, seasons, foods, and other everyday words. 

·         Level 2 (updated in 2024) reviews Level 1 vocabulary before teaching 500 additional vocabulary words covering foods, body parts or common health concerns, and other words typically used in conversation. Integral to both levels are memorization of Bible verses and songs in Spanish, as well as traditional church expressions or references.

Instructions are written to the student and include a suggested 5-day schedule: 

·         Monday (Part 1) emphasizes vocabulary. 

·         Tuesday (Part 2) involves sentence practice. Students read and listen to practice sentences in Spanish. 

·         Wednesday (Part 3) has matching exercises for Spanish words and sentences with their English translations. 

·         Thursday (Part 4) includes memorization of Bible verses and songs in Spanish. Bible Word Match activities are also included to enrich vocabulary. 

·         Friday (Part 5) is a review day, where students play a vocabulary flashcard game using the included flashcards. No answers are included. The Student Books are consumable and non-reproducible.

Course components include Student Workbooks A and B, Audio Files (purchased on a USB drive), Teacher’s Guide, and a Vocabulary Word Card Packet. All 4 pieces are essential for the course!

Each Workbook provides 30 lessons plus reviews & tests after every 5 lessons (total of 36 lessons all together). You will complete A and B in one school year.

Vocabulary Word Card Packet (aka Flash Cards) have Spanish on the front and English on the back. The cards are used to review vocabulary words. You will have to cut them apart before using.

Audio Files come on a USB drive. It includes the pronunciation model for the student to follow via words, phrases, memory verses, and songs. There are no answers here. You will need the Teacher Guide for answers.

The Teacher’s Guide is now required. It includes reduced student pages with answers filled in, extra practice sentences, explanations and additional activities.
