CA - La Casa Module Overview

La Casa

Introduction

Students, in this module you will learn all about the house and home. You will learn how to tell about your own home, describe the homes of others, and ask new friends about where they live. Whether it's a house or an apartment in the city or by the beach, you'll learn all you need to know in order to talk about it en español!

One of the best parts about studying abroad for both Jen and Ben has been the opportunity to live with a local host family. The family speaks no English at all so they are able to speak a lot of Spanish at “home” and they have really loved seeing how people in other countries live.
