What a level 6 student covers in Learn Spanish
In teaching order. Each line is one topic, its one-line summary, and the standard it addresses.
- Spanish imperfect subjunctive: quería que, era importante que, ojalá tuvieraForm the imperfect subjunctive from the ellos form of the preterite (hablaron, hablara; tuvieron, tuviera), recognize the -se forms, use it after a trigger in the past (quería que, me pidió que, era importante que), with ojalá for wishes that are unlikely now and with como si, and keep the present subjunctive after a present trigger.
Intermediate Mid: Interpersonal Communication (ACTFL) - Si clauses in Spanish: si tuviera, haría and si tengo, iréBuild hypothetical sentences with si + imperfect subjunctive + conditional (Si tuviera una beca, estudiaría en Chile), contrast them with likely conditions (Si llueve, no iremos), give advice with Si yo fuera tú, never use the conditional or the present subjunctive right after si, and recognize si hubiera tenido, habría for the past.
Intermediate High: Presentational Speaking (ACTFL) - Spanish subjunctive in descriptions: busco un lugar que tenga and espero que hayasUse the subjunctive after something unknown or that does not exist (Busco un programa que sea en verano; No hay nadie que sepa) and the indicative after something known (Tengo un amigo que vive cerca), form the present perfect subjunctive (Espero que hayas descansado), and read listings for summer programs, rooms and volunteer posts.
Intermediate Mid: Interpretive Reading (ACTFL) - Spanish conjunctions with the subjunctive: para que, a menos que, aunqueUse the subjunctive after para que, a menos que, con tal de que, sin que and antes de que, choose the subjunctive or the indicative after cuando, hasta que, en cuanto and aunque, use the infinitive when the subject does not change (para ahorrar, antes de salir), and write a short plan for a community or environmental project.
Intermediate Mid: Presentational Writing (ACTFL) - Spanish future perfect and probability: habrá llegado, ¿dónde estará?Form the future perfect (habré, habrás, habrá + participle) to say what will be done by a certain time, use the simple future to guess about the present (¿Dónde estará mi teléfono?) and the conditional to guess about the past (Serían las diez), and talk about inventions, technology and the future of work with words of certainty and doubt.
Intermediate High: Interpersonal Communication (ACTFL) - Spanish passive voice and se for accidents: fue construido, se me olvidóForm the passive with ser + a participle that agrees with the subject (El puente fue construido; Las vacunas fueron probadas), recognize that Spanish often prefers passive se (Se descubrió una especie; Se venden boletos), use se + an indirect object pronoun for unplanned events (se me olvidó, se le cayó, se nos rompió), and read short science and health articles.
Intermediate Mid: Interpretive Reading (ACTFL) - Reported speech in Spanish: dijo que vendría, me pidió que revisaraReport what someone said, asked or asked for, changing the tense (dijo que estaba, dijo que había llegado, dijo que vendría), use me pidió que + imperfect subjunctive for requests and preguntó si or preguntó dónde for questions, change pronouns and time words, use reporting verbs (afirmar, explicar, añadir, negar, contar), and check a news source before sharing it.
Intermediate High: Interpretive Listening (ACTFL) - Spanish pluperfect: había terminado and life storiesForm the pluperfect (había, habías, había + participle) to show what happened before another past event (Cuando llegué, la película ya había empezado), use ya, todavía no and nunca with it, combine it with the preterite and the imperfect, use al + infinitive and después de + infinitive, and write a short biography of a person who made a difference in a community.
Intermediate High: Presentational Writing (ACTFL) - Talking about art in Spanish: lo que, el cual, cuyo and describing a workDescribe and interpret a painting, a mural, a song, a building or a film (En primer plano hay...; Los colores transmiten...), use lo + adjective (lo mejor, lo interesante) and lo que (Lo que más me gusta es...), use el que and el cual after prepositions (la canción de la que te hablé) and cuyo (el artista cuyo mural vimos), and give a reasoned opinion about a work.
Intermediate Mid: Presentational Speaking (ACTFL) - Spanish for college and careers: personal statement, CV and interviewWrite a short personal statement (Me interesa... porque...; Mi experiencia en... me enseñó...), list skills and experience for a CV, answer interview questions with usted (¿Cuáles son sus metas?), use formal openings and closings (Estimados señores, Atentamente), and turn verbs into nouns for a formal style (desarrollar, el desarrollo). An adult checks every application before it is sent.
Intermediate High: Presentational Writing (ACTFL) - Argumentative writing in Spanish: global issues, sources and connectorsRead two short texts and a chart with different points of view, state a thesis, support it with evidence from the sources (según, de acuerdo con, el gráfico muestra que), concede and refute (aunque, a pesar de que, sin embargo, no obstante), conclude (por lo tanto, en conclusión), and use the subjunctive after es posible que, no es cierto que and es necesario que, in short essays on water, energy, digital access and work.
Intermediate High: Presentational Writing (ACTFL) - Cultural comparisons in Spanish: presentations, regions and identityPrepare and give a short presentation that compares a community you know with one in the Spanish-speaking world, use comparisons (tan... como, tanto como, más que, mientras que, a diferencia de, al igual que), signal the structure (En primer lugar, Por otro lado, Para concluir), answer follow-up questions, and recognize regional forms such as vosotros and vos in listening.
