About this course

The course introduces Spanish for everyday exchanges, beginning with greetings, introductions, spelling and questions about word meaning and pronunciation. Participants practise giving and requesting basic information, talking about family, and identifying and describing people. Teaching includes spoken-language listening practice, vocabulary-retention activities and guidance on speaking in groups and becoming less reliant on notes. Homework is recommended to consolidate learning, and learners can work through the material at a gradual pace.
