I'm looking for an experienced Spanish teacher or course designer to create a comprehensive 60-hour conversational Spanish course tailored for complete beginners, with a strong focus on practical, daily use. The course should consist of 140-150 video lessons, each approximately 25 minutes long, and should include at least 6-8 interactive speaking pauses where learners can practice repeating phrases aloud. Here’s what I’m expecting: - **Content Deliverables:** Scripts, vocabulary lists, and dialogue translations (Spanish, Arabic, and English). - **Cultural Relevance:** Localize examples and dialogues for Saudi learners, incorporating cultural overlaps such as Andalusian and Islamic influences, and similarities between Spanish and Arabic language and culture. Include practical contexts such as shopping, dining, traveling, social interactions, sports (e.g., Padel, tennis, football), and more. - **Tone:** Lessons should be friendly, casual, and engaging. - **Ownership:** All course materials and videos will be 100% owned by Habla Sawa. - **Bonus:** Capability to produce videos with greenscreen and visuals. - **Timeline:** 60-hour course to be fully delivered within 3 months, with payment per 3 hours of completed video (~7 videos per milestone). Arabic proficiency is preferred but not mandatory. However, proven experience in designing Spanish language courses for beginners is a must. Let’s create an engaging and culturally resonant learning experience! Request for Proposal (RFP) Development of Conversational Spanish Course – Habla Sawa Company ________________________________________ 1. Introduction Habla Sawa Company is a Saudi-based language learning platform dedicated to bridging Arabic and Spanish cultures through innovative, culturally relevant language education. We are seeking qualified Spanish language instructors to design and deliver a 60-hour conversational Spanish course tailored to Saudi learners aged 13–40. Our mission is to provide a language-learning experience that is highly practical, culturally localized, and deeply engaging, giving Saudi learners a product that goes beyond generic apps like Duolingo. The course will emphasize real-world speaking confidence, cultural understanding, and connections between Spanish and Arabic heritage. ________________________________________ 2. Project Overview We aim to create a series of pre-recorded, instructor-led video lessons (totaling approximately 60 hours) designed to teach Spanish through real-world conversational scenarios, cultural themes (e.g., football, gastronomy, fashion), and the historical connections between Spain and the Arab world. The instructor(s) will be responsible for designing the course structure, preparing lesson materials, and recording all content while tailoring delivery to a Saudi audience. This localization is a crucial differentiator for Habla Sawa and must be reflected in both teaching style and content choices. ________________________________________ 3. Scope of Work The selected instructor(s) will be required to: • Design a comprehensive 60-hour conversational Spanish course, structured into themed chapters and lessons. • Prepare all scripts and lesson plans for each recorded video. • Record themselves in front of a green screen for all lessons. • Ensure that each lesson video is no longer than 25 minutes. • Include a minimum of 6–8 interactive pauses per video where learners are prompted to practice aloud what has just been taught. • Focus on practical, spoken Spanish, emphasizing daily communication rather than grammar-heavy instruction. • Incorporate cultural and historical references (e.g., Andalusian Islamic heritage, football culture, Spanish cuisine, and local traditions). • Localize content to the Saudi context — use examples, scenarios, and language relevant to Saudi learners and their real-world use cases. • Deliver all content in high-quality video format, ready for post-production editing by Habla Sawa. • Agree that Habla Sawa Company retains full ownership rights to all scripts, materials, and videos produced. ________________________________________ 4. Instructor Qualifications • Native or fluent Spanish speaker with strong teaching ability. • Proven experience teaching Spanish as a foreign language (formal certification preferred but not required). • Demonstrated ability to design conversational, culturally relevant courses. • Experience recording clear, engaging video lessons. • Arabic language proficiency is preferred but not required. ________________________________________ 5. Deliverables • A complete 60-hour conversational Spanish course divided into structured chapters and lessons. • Scripts and lesson plans for each video. • Pre-recorded video lessons (each ≤ 25 minutes) including 6–8 interactive pauses per video. • Localized content that resonates with Saudi learners and cultural context. • Transfer of all intellectual property rights to Habla Sawa Company upon completion. ________________________________________ 6. Timeline • Total project duration: 3 months from the date of contract signing. • Expected delivery schedule: Progressive submission of video content over the 3-month period. ________________________________________ 7. Compensation & Payment Terms • Payment will be made per every 3 hours of completed and approved video content. • Each video must not exceed 25 minutes, meaning approximately 7 videos ≈ 3 hours, and payment will be made in installments upon the satisfactory delivery of each 3-hour block. • Proposals must include a rate per 3-hour block of completed and approved video content. • Payment will be released upon review and acceptance of each block by Habla Sawa Company. ________________________________________ 8. Proposal Requirements Interested applicants must submit: • A brief overview of teaching experience and qualifications. • Proposed rate per 3 hours of completed and approved video content. • A high-level outline of the proposed 60-hour course structure. • Sample lesson video or previous recorded work (preferred but not mandatory). • Estimated delivery timeline and methodology. ________________________________________ 9. Intellectual Property All content produced under this project — including scripts, lesson plans, and recorded videos — will become the exclusive property of Habla Sawa Company. The instructor waives all future claims to ownership, royalties, or distribution rights.
