Before diving into the drills, ensure that students are familiar with the following words and phrases:
Use physical or digital flashcards to help students memorize the vocabulary. One side should have the Spanish word, and the other the English translation. Spend 5-10 minutes daily reviewing these flashcards.
Start with simple sentences using the vocabulary. For example:
Provide students with sentences that have missing words. They can use the vocabulary list to fill in the blanks.
Translate the following sentence into Spanish:
Focus on the conjugation of the verbs "beber" and "comer" in the present tense. Fill in the conjugated forms for each pronoun.
Create a matching game where students match Spanish phrases with their English translations or play Conjugation Bingo.
Show clips from Spanish shows or play songs where the key vocabulary is used. Ask students to identify the verbs and nouns they hear.
Conduct quick quizzes at the beginning of each lesson to review the vocabulary and concepts from the previous day.
Assign short exercises where students must use the vocabulary in context, and regularly review the vocabulary to ensure retention.
