Spanish for living and connecting: communicating with greater independence (intermediate 3)

About this course

The course develops communication across everyday, online and travel situations, with practice in discussing issues, sharing views, giving suggestions, making recommendations and expressing needs. Learners work with conversations that are longer and less predictable, alongside discussion of media, social life and cultural experiences in Spanish-speaking contexts. Language work covers present, past and future tenses, and introduces the present subjunctive in common constructions such as “es importante que” and “quiero que”.
