Tips for English Lessons

  • Children often mumble and slur their words, so if you are not a Spanish speaker, try to catch key words to get context clues. 

  • If the children become noisy or unfocused, try to get the attention again by using words like: "Escuchen" (listen), "Silencio" (silent), or you can count down "Cinco, cuatro, tres, dos, uno"
