Spanish Basics with Miss Gabriela Elinea
The user's request asked for the first slide to be about the teacher in Spanish. This opening title slide names the teacher clearly. The next slide gives the teacher introduction fully in Spanish with English support.
Sobre tu profesora
Me llamo Miss Gabriela Elinea.
<sub>My name is Miss Gabriela Elinea.</sub>
Soy tu profesora de español.
<sub>I am your Spanish teacher.</sub>
Vamos a aprender el español básico juntos.
<sub>We are going to learn basic Spanish together.</sub>
Keep the Spanish as the main text and treat the English lines as quiet support. Read each Spanish sentence aloud first so students hear pronunciation before looking at the translation.
Which Spanish words do you already know?
Use this as a quick prior-knowledge activation after the learning-goal slide. Accept any Spanish words students know, even if they are not yet in the lesson.
Learning Goal
I can understand and say some basic Spanish words and phrases.

Greetings
Hola
<sub>Hello</sub>
Buenos días
<sub>Good morning</sub>
Buenas tardes
<sub>Good afternoon</sub>
Buenas noches
<sub>Good evening / Good night</sub>
Model pronunciation slowly: hola, buenos días, buenas tardes, buenas noches. Point out that Spanish often changes greeting by time of day.
Saying Your Name
Me llamo Ana.
<sub>My name is Ana.</sub>
Soy Pablo.
<sub>I am Pablo.</sub>
¿Cómo te llamas?
<sub>What is your name?</sub>
Use these as fixed beginner chunks rather than explaining grammar in detail. Students at this level benefit from memorising whole phrases first.
Polite Words
Por favor
<sub>Please</sub>
Gracias
<sub>Thank you</sub>
De nada
<sub>You are welcome</sub>
These phrases are high-frequency and useful immediately. Encourage students to notice that they can use them in and beyond the classroom.
Useful Classroom Phrases
No entiendo.
<sub>I do not understand.</sub>
¿Puedo ir al baño?
<sub>Can I go to the toilet?</sub>
¿Cómo se dice... en español?
<sub>How do you say ... in Spanish?</sub>
These phrases make the lesson practical. '¿Puedo ir al baño?' is a common school phrase in UK classrooms when learning Spanish.
How do you say 'What is your name?' in Spanish?
¿Cómo te llamas?
Me llamo Ana.
Gracias
Hola
This checks the core name-question phrase from the introductions block. Distractors are familiar phrases from the same set, so students must distinguish question from statement and greeting.
Complete the short conversation
A: Hola. B: Hola. A: ¿Cómo te llamas? B: Me llamo Ana. A: Gracias. B: De nada.
All three blanks are fixed chunks taught in the first subtopic: greeting, asking a name, and polite response.
Numbers 1-5
Uno
<sub>One</sub>
Dos
<sub>Two</sub>
Tres

Pronunciation support: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco. Keep this slide focused on recognition and saying the words, not spelling tests.
Colours
Rojo
<sub>Red</sub>
Azul
<sub>Blue</sub>
Verde
<sub>Green</sub>
Amarillo
<sub>Yellow</sub>
Keep the set small so students can remember it. These words are concrete and easy to support with visible objects in the room.
Basic Answers
Sí
<sub>Yes</sub>
No
<sub>No</sub>
Muy bien
<sub>Very well</sub>
Más o menos
<sub>So-so</sub>
These answers help students respond simply in Spanish. 'Más o menos' is a useful chunk for beginner confidence.
Goodbyes
Adiós
<sub>Goodbye</sub>
Hasta luego
<sub>See you later</sub>
Hasta mañana
<sub>See you tomorrow</sub>
This closes the practical beginner set: greet, introduce yourself, respond politely, and say goodbye.
Which Spanish word means 'green'?
Rojo
Azul
Verde
Amarillo
Checks colour recognition from the second subtopic.
Complete the Spanish facts
In Spanish, uno means one and cinco means five. The colour red is rojo, and 'yes' is sí.
This anchors key vocabulary from numbers, colours and basic answers. Each blank has one clear place from meaning.
What is one Spanish word you remember?
Look for one specific word or phrase from the lesson, such as hola, gracias, me llamo, sí, rojo or hasta luego. Invite a few students to say their chosen item aloud.
What helped you learn Spanish best today?
Students can mention greetings, colours, numbers, repeating aloud, translations, or practising as a class. This is reflection, so there is no single correct answer.
