Level 2 Spanish Class Graduates with Pablo Neruda

"Graduation Day" - Level 2 Spanish Class - Warren Hardy Spanish - San Miguel de Allende

The Level 2 Spanish class at the Warren Hardy Spanish School in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, is a turning point for most students in their journey of learning. Level 2 takes you to the high functional level so you can obtain information about past events. It teaches word order, the use of the Direct and Indirect Object pronouns, and the Preterite past tense.

In a dramatic moment, excerpts of a poem "The Word" by Pablo Neruda were read in the class in Spanish and English by Warren Hardy and Rocio Ruiz, the class instructor. The keyword in the poem excerpt was "verb" since the classes focus on "Power Verbs" and verb conjugations as the core foundation for learning Spanish.

Excerpts - La Palabra - The Word

Nacio                                                                   The word
La palabra en la sangre                                       was born in the blood
crecio in el cuerpo oscuro, palpitando,                grew in the dark body, beating
y volo con los labios y la boca                             and flew through the lips and the mouth
,
originan mi canto                                                  give rise to my song
porque el verbo es origen                                     because the verb is the source
y vierte vida: es sangre                                         and vivid life : it is blood
es la sangre que expresa su substancia               blood which expresses its substance
y esta dispuestoasi su desarrollo                          and so implies its own unwinding
dan cristal y cristal,                                                words give glass quality to glass
sangre a la sangre                                                 blood to blood,
y dan vida a la vida las palabras                            and life to life itself
