Hello Students and Families,

My name is Wan-Jung Smith. Thank you for your interest in taking my class and learning the Chinese language. I am originally from Taiwan, I moved to the United States in December of 1999 with my parents and Sister. In Taiwan people speak Taiwanese, Mandarin Chinese, numerous tribal languages as well as English.

Spanish Classes for Homeschoolers

Purpose:  To glorify God through learning and using Spanish for ministry and work.

Skill Levels:  Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4, and Summer Conversational Spanish.

Curriculum:  Includes conversation, grammar, guest speakers, field trip, website, worship, evangelism and an optional Mexico Mission Trip.   Documentation to fulfill high school language requirements is provided.

Living Waters Spanish launches you to fluency by using the Bible. You will be equipped to communicate with native Spanish speakers about everything from their daily lives to the Gospel message.   Thirty years of research prove that the most effective way to learn a second language is by seeing and hearing it with complete comprehension every step of the way.  Children learn language through context, repetition, and role-playing. Our classes recreate these stages with Spanish music, drama, stories, grammar and conversation.   There is no faster or better way to learn to speak and write in Spanish than the Living Waters’ method.

Ages:  10 – Adult  (Classes for younger students are available for groups of 15 or more students.)
