What Beginner (A1) Spanish means

At A1 Spanish, learners are beginning to use familiar words and simple sentences in predictable everyday situations.

  • Introduce yourself

    Me llamo Ana. Vivo en Londres.

    My name is Ana. I live in London.

  • Order in a café

    Quisiera un café, por favor.

    I would like a coffee, please.

  • Ask for directions

    Perdone, ¿dónde está la estación?

    Excuse me, where is the station?

These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.

About this course

The course refreshes existing Spanish through topics such as introductions, daily routines and travel. Grammar revision includes regular and irregular present-tense verbs, pronouns and the past tense. Teaching focuses on spoken interaction and communication, with pair work, group activities, role plays and games. The tutor will adapt the content to the needs and level of the group, so the precise balance of topics may vary. The course is intended to consolidate foundational Spanish and prepare learners to progress to a Spanish 2 lower course.

What you'll learn

  • Talk about themselves and other people in Spanish
  • Describe daily routines using the present tense
  • Use regular and irregular verbs in the present tense
  • Talk simply about activities in the past

Is this course right for you?

This course is designed for learners returning to Spanish after previous study rather than complete beginners. At least one year of earlier Spanish study is expected, or learners may have recently completed a beginners course. Classes involve spoken interaction, pair and group work, role plays and games, with homework highly recommended for consolidation.

  • At least one year of previous Spanish study is expected
  • May suit learners who have recently completed a Spanish beginners course and want to revise

Before you go

  • The course is based on the tutor's own materials.
  • Teaching and learning resources are provided through Google Classroom.
