Golden sentences: getting students to sound like a native
This is a resource that I use to teach students phrases that they can use in their writing or speaking to make themselves sound like a true Spanish speaker.
They come in two categories, ready made and adaptable. The ready made sentences can just be used as them come. The adaptable ones, have words underlined that can be swapped for words of the same grammatical category. I have classified them in infinitives and adjectives adaptable golden sentences.
I hope they’re useful and please, let me know how you use them!

Faster feedback with the 20 Keys
After years of trial an error, I developed this marking system in order to give the most effective, detailed feedback, in the least amount of time.
It’s hard to explain in writing, so I’ve videoed myself marking a year 9 essay.
Get in touch if you have any questions!
