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

About this course

The course develops Spanish for situations where learners need to explain ideas, discuss problems, make suggestions and respond to others. Practice covers longer, less predictable conversations in social and workplace contexts, with work on using present, past and future tenses more consistently. Learners are also introduced to the presente de subjuntivo in common expressions such as “es importante que” and “quiero que”. Discussion of media, everyday life and cultural experiences provides context for communicating appropriately across Spanish-speaking cultures.

What you'll learn

• Manage longer conversations in social and workplace situations.
• Use present, past and future tenses with increasing control.
