Quick Lesson on Spanish Possessive Adjectives

27/03/2021

Good morning language lovers! I am often asked the best way to develop listening skills in a target language. See my top 3 ideas below that are sure to help you along in Spanish and French!
Remember with these you have to be persistent and you may find yourself listening to the same item 3 or 4 times or more, and thats more than ok, but each time you will pick up a little something more!!!!!!

1) Tune in to a Spanish or French radio station or a TV channel

2) Youtube have some fantastic cartoons -don't be put of by the fact that they are cartoons linguistically they are as good as any other resource!

3) Find your favourite film, you know the one i mean, the one that you know the script and story back to front and then see if you can lay your hands on it and that on the back of the dvd case it lists your spoken language options, often they will be in Spanish or in French. By watching it when you are already really familiar with content will help create familiarity for new vocabulary in the target language.

With the Easter Holidays just around the corner, this is an example of some activities we can do with the kids to help with with their French.
