My Spanish is very far from fluent. However, I speak enough Spanish to communicate with lower-grade elementary students. Having said that, I also believe the full-immersion is the best way to learn a language for most students. I’ve also taught ESL for four years and know that communicating in the language that you’re learning, even when it’s beyond your comfort level is beneficial. It’s with all of that in mind that I read, and had our 12-year-old middle school student read No Se Permiten Elefantes. He’s been studying Spanish for half a year and already has a solid vocabulary base under him.
