Happy Valentine’s Day from LingroLearning (and a little kid with scissors and a Sharpie)! We are SO excited....to change the way languages are learned!

Listen to LingroLearning author Gillian Lord, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Florida, discuss pronunciation and more on We Teach Languages. Gillian is co-author of the new college introductory Spanish program, Contrsaseña: Your Password to Foundational Spanish. http://www.lingrolearning.com/contrasena/ https://weteachlang.com/2018/02/02/ep-38-with-gillian-lord/

How do you help students put things together? Comment with your ideas! Here are some of our ideas us for using LingroToGo (free on the App Store and Googleplay): Sprinkle in topics throughout the semester. Create chapter or theme-based activities (1 per unit). For example, you could have a class discussion based on a strategy/pragmatics topic, have students watch videos outside of class and present on what they learn/how they use the strategy, or create a partner/group role-play, etc.!

Ever have trouble getting started? Use LingroToGo as a regular warm-up for class! Have students download free on the App Store or Googleplay. Comment with your own ideas, and here are a few from us below. Variation would have students play a game (with a partner) and discuss in Spanish (what they like, what they don't understand, etc.), watch a video and discuss the topic with a partner, or play independently (students explore what they want). Games that make you think! Watch. Play. Learn.
