Spanish 4 at a gentle pace: module 3


An advanced Spanish course taught at a slower pace, consolidating complex grammar and vocabulary through work on media, culture, listening and reading.
What Advanced (C1+) Spanish means
At C1+ Spanish, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.
Qualify an argument
Si bien el argumento resulta convincente en términos generales, pasa por alto varias consecuencias imprevistas.
While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.
Convey nuance
No me opongo a la propuesta en sí; lo que cuestiono es la forma precipitada de aplicarla.
I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.
Adapt your register
Le agradecería que reconsiderara la decisión a la luz de la información adicional adjunta.
I would be grateful if you would reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.
These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.
About this course
The course develops more complex Spanish grammar and vocabulary while exploring media, leisure, environmental issues, and Spanish and Latin American cultures. Grammar work includes referred speech, connecting words, verbs derived from nouns, and the compound future. Teaching combines spoken-language practice, listening activities, vocabulary-retention techniques, group-speaking guidance, and work with newspaper articles. Learners also receive advice on becoming more independent when speaking and listening, with homework recommended to reinforce classroom learning.
What you'll learn
- Apply a wider range of vocabulary when expressing opinions and ideas.
- Use and understand referred speech, connecting words, noun-derived verbs and the compound future.

Is this course right for you?
The course is intended for advanced Spanish learners who have studied the language for about five to six years.

The level label indicates work with advanced language structures rather than an introductory course.
- The course moves more slowly than standard Spanish courses.
- Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Before you go
- Teaching and learning resources are provided through Google Classroom.
- The course is based on units 3 and 4 of Aula Internacional Plus 5: Edición híbrida: Libro del alumno, ISBN 9788419236104, published by Difusión.
- Learners who are not continuing students are advised to wait until after the first session before buying the textbook, as a transfer to another level may require a different book.
