Gentle Spanish Level 5 | Afternoons

About this course

The course develops Spanish through neighbourhoods, towns, cities, travel and accommodation. Learners practise describing places, asking for and giving directions, interpreting travel timetables, requesting information, booking hotel rooms and making service complaints. Lessons combine structured coursebook work with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation practice. The teacher speaks Spanish throughout, while role-plays, speaking tasks, design activities, cultural content and short presentations provide opportunities to use the language in classroom scenarios.
