St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School: Spanish

Mariano Marin

Mr. Mariano M. Marin-Gomez
Spanish

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world.  In addition, the United States has the 2nd largest concentration of Spanish speakers in the world, more than Spain and 2nd only to Mexico.  The value of learning a new language for business, travel or simply understanding other people is undeniable in such a globally interconnected world.  I am looking forward to inspiring more students and opening new doors to them while learning about language and culture.

SFA students learn Spanish starting in preschool all the way through eighth grade. I strive to make Spanish classes fun, current, and with applicable vocabulary and conversational skills. In Spanish class we:

  • Build vocabulary

  • Sing songs to build cultural connections

  • Emphasize spoken language

  • Create an awareness of a shared community and world.

SFA focuses on building a foundation for children to become good persons, modeling Catholic virtues.
