Inti resources
hablando
“Hablando”, because canned dialogues in INTI class are a thing of the past.
The Hablando project was born out of our need for fresh, entertaining material for use in our own INTI online language courses… and our commitment to contributing to innovation in language teaching generally. We wanted our dialogues to be effective, of course, but also to be really enjoyable…. students learn so much more if they come to class with enthusiasm. So humor is an important part of these Spanish-learning videos which are inspired by classic Spanish comedy shows.
Each sketch is written and designed for a specific level of Spanish, and for a specific grammar or vocabulary topic. The real magic is in the humor, so even if you’re a native, you’ll enjoy these “Hablando” sketches.
