Synonyms are an important way to grow vocabulary. In this conversation, Pamela helps Pablo make his story more interesting by using common synonyms. Lots of listening practice too (obviously)! youtu.be/u0Q9SrS1NL0 #LearnSpanish #spanishteacher

Our new video! Diana sings as Pablo draws a scene. It makes a fun, effective lesson! Have students listen first, then make a drawing to reflect the lyrics. This is a new format for us. We'd love to know what you think! youtu.be/nu8QKzKs1ng
