Join us for an interactive language adventure featuring food-focused learning in Spanish and fingerspelling! Es Hora de Comer is designed to introduce new or novice Spanish students to food vocabulary, numbers, and descriptions of taste. The first four days of this immersive camp is conducted both in English and Spanish with hands-on activities so learners can utilize new vocabulary in authentic situations. We’ll sharpen our skills with various speaking, reading and writing activities and cap off our experience with some taste testing of our own! On the fifth day, we will learn a bonus language through Fingerspelling! Students will learn the basics of Manually Coded English (MCE) and explore it’s history and cultural importance. We will cap off the week by learning how to sign many of the food words learned earlier in the week. Come join us for a fun week full of new languages and food! ¡Nos vemos pronto amigos!
