Introducing the verb 'Encantar'
This Spanish Kapow teacher video supports you in delivering a lesson where pupils learn to express stronger preferences using the verb encantar. Building on prior knowledge of me gusta, pupils will discover how to use me encanta to talk about activities or subjects they love. The structure mirrors that of gustar, so pupils can confidently apply it to both verbs and nouns, for example: me encanta leer (I love to read) or me encantan las matemáticas (I love maths). The lesson also reinforces grammatical accuracy, focusing on correct verb and noun agreement in both singular and plural forms.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work – grammar. It supports you in modelling how to construct and respond to opinions, including the use of a mí también (me too) and a mí me encanta (I love). You’ll receive practical guidance on helping pupils avoid common errors, such as incorrectly adding subject pronouns like yo, and instead using appropriate emphasis through phrases like a mí. Regular exposure to these structures in dialogue and conversation helps pupils to develop fluency, accuracy and confidence in their spoken Spanish.
