Spanish Improvers

The course is for people who want to learn key vocabulary and grammatical structures to develop conversational skills.  The course will also include cultural insights, pronunciation, assorted listening activities and verb exercises. Through the course, you will be able to improve your ability to understand spoken and written Spanish.

You will benefit from doing some home study for vocabulary building and verb conjugations. The extra language practice will help you reinforce your learning before moving on to the next unit.

You need a basic understanding of the language. 

You will be expected to ask and answer questions using verbs in the present tense and take part in conversations.

During the course you will develop competence in listening, reading, writing and speaking across a range of real life situations more complex than those at beginners levels. These situations will include: introducing yourself and others, asking and understanding questions related to everyday life, making enquiries and talking about leisure interests, understanding property descriptions, shopping for clothes and other items, explaining problems referring to the past, understanding the weather forecast and talking about past holidays, explaining health problems, accepting and refusing invitations, understanding menus and talking about special occasions.

We suggest you bring a pen and some paper to take notes.

It is also recommended you purchase the BBC talk Spanish 2 book  as it is used in lessons and for home learning.

You do not have to buy the CDs as listening activities are done in class. Links for listening practice will be provided.

 Please Note there are no lessons during the half term break
