Spanish 1/2: Spanish and Latin-American voices

About this course

The workshop uses two Spanish-speaking figures as a context for practising basic language, including introductions, professions, nationalities, activities, physical descriptions and family. Learners work with the present tense, numbers and adjectives while developing their understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures. Teaching is mainly presentation-based, with recommended student participation and spoken interaction. Short written texts, simple audio material, presentations and handouts support practice in reading and listening as well as spoken Spanish.
