¡Hola Speekee! is our free 10-week series of Spanish lessons for children at home.
Over the 10 weeks we'll be covering the following 10 themes:
Greetings. Numbers. Days / Months. Age. Colours. Animals. Family. Food. Likes and dislikes. Hobbies.
Activity 1
Watch this video - it’s a bit longer than the other ones you’ve seen, but you’ll see loads of animals in it! Listen out for any that you already know, and when you’ve watched it, practise saying them - plus any new ones that you learn.
Since there’s so many, here’s a table of the animals mentioned in the video, plus a few more, to help you:
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Un hipopótamo | oon eepohpotahmoh | A hippopotamus | |
| Un león | oon leyohn | A lion | |
| Un mono | oon mohnoh | A monkey | |
| Jirafa | heerahfah | Giraffe | |
| Cebra | thehbrah | Zebra | |
| Tigre | teegreh | Tiger | |
| Un elefante | oon elefahnteh | An elephant | |
| Un perro | oon pehr-roh | A dog | |
| Oveja | obeh-hah | Sheep | |
| Un caballo | oon kahbahyoh | A horse | |
| Vaca | bakkah | Cow | |
| Una serpiente | oonah sehrpeeyenteh | A snake | |
| Gato | gahtoh | Cat | |
| Un loro | oon lohroh | A parrot | |
| Cerdo | therhdoh | Pig | |
| Una rana | oonah rahnah | A frog | |
| Oso | ossoh | Bear | |
| Tiburón | teebooronn | Shark |
Wow! There’s a lot to remember there. Don’t worry if you can’t learn them all at once, maybe for now you can just learn the ones from the activity sheets that you’ll complete in this section. Here’s one to print out. If you don’t have a printer, you can draw your own animals and complete the activity on some paper.
Activity 2
For this activity, it’ll help to watch some of the video again, from about 11:52 - 12:02. Listen to how Aitana asks Dani ‘What is your favourite animal?’ and how Dani responds with ‘My favourite animal is…’.
Here’s a table to help you:
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ¿Cúal es tu animal favorito? | ¿kwal ess too aneemahl favohreetoh? | What is your favourite animal? | |
| Mi animal favorito es ____ | mee aneemahl fabohreetoh ess ____ | My favourite animal is ____ |
Find a partner to practise with - take it in turns asking and replying.
When you’ve had a go at that, you can print off and complete the activity sheet, just follow the instructions on there. If you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheet on some paper.
