    "We are the language". The Somos Curriculum was written based on the truth that language is inextricably linked to its speakers and their cultures. With language acquisition as its goal, this curriculum from The Comprehensible Classroom teaches language and culture simultaneously. Instead of teaching about the language, the Somos Curriculum strategically introduces students to new words and phrases and then uses to create communicative opportunities for students, such as conversation, reading, and listening. In this way, The Somos Curriculum has supported thousands of students in developing cultural understanding at a depth rarely achieved in beginning language courses. Somos features a wide range of individuals representing diverse backgrounds from many different Spanish-speaking cultures, and The Comprehensible Classroom partners with teachers and creators that are native to many of those cultures in order to ensure that their stories are presented with accuracy and respect.
