ONE POSSIBLE MYTH:

"Only those that speak fluent Spanish should be teaching students."

This is False

Just as your student’s Spanish skills will not be perfect, neither will yours. While it is important for every teacher to be familiar with what they are teaching, you absolutely do not need to be fluent for them to learn. You are more than welcome to use the Spanish Review Handout as a tool to brush up on your Spanish skills before teaching.
