In the first lesson with Y7 I always spend time doing the register but always "en español" Even just pronouncing your classes names in a Spanish accent will give you an anchor to return to at any time in the future and even better if they have a name which can be turned into Spanish.
Have you got a George who can be a Jorge or a John who can transform into Juan? All the different Spanish sounds can be incorporated!
In addition why not ask your new, enthusiastic hispanists to tell you what they already know? I am sure that they will be able to name some famous Spanish speaking people, places they have been to or food that they have eaten. You can then build up your own class pronunciation guide based on what they have already heard.
See below:
Fernando Torres, David Villa, Rafael Nadal
Sevilla, Argentina, Zaragoza, Madrid
Fajitas, Tortillas, Quesadillas
Here is list of some popular Spanish names to further groove the students pronunciation.
