9 ways to practice español during summer vacation
School is done, but there are still lots of fun ways you can add some español into your vacaciones!
1. Try to talk in español or espanglés with your friends or family. Try to have a short conversation all in Spanish each day, or just add as many Spanish words as you can into a conversation in English (or any other language you speak at home!). Practice counting, colors, the weather, animals, the days and months, fruits and vegetables, objects, actions, or anything else you know!
2. Corazón Scavenger Hunt: I hung up somewhere between 20-30 red hearts in the neighborhood around Runkle (mostly on Beacon, Dean Rd, and behind the school on Clinton) with words or messages in Spanish. How many can you find? You can also add your own for others to find! Here are some suggestions for things to write
3. Practice routines and games from Spanish class. You can be Profe and lead family members, toys, or stuffed animals in a clase de español en casa! Practice the Hola song, calendar and weather in Spanish. You an also practice any other songs, games, or activities you remember from class or remote learning.

- Putumayo albums from around the world (youtube playlist here): You can find even more on their website: www.putumayo.com/music
- Profes Playlist of Música Tranqui (Relaxing Music - opens on YouTube)
- Most music streaming apps like Spotify, iTunes or Google Play Music have lots of options in Spanish, usually listed in the "Latin" category. Here are some genres to search for: salsa, bachata, pop, tropical, vallenato, tango. Try some different ones out to find one you like!
7. Read a book en español:

Most of all, stay safe, have fun, and keep an open mind to learning new things! I can't wait to see you again in septiembre! ¡Adiós!
