Overview

This course is for adults who have done some study of the language, 3 years or similar, who have a basic knowledge of Spanish and can cope with basic tourist conversations. You will expand your vocabulary and grammar using all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) on practical topics to enable you to communicate.

We will listen to audio materials and practise pronunciation in class and will also spend some time developing your reading and writing skills. 

Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during lessons and refer to the course book.
