This course is designed for learners who already understand the basics of Spanish but want to strengthen their speaking ability and feel more confident using the language in real conversations before progressing to higher levels.

Rather than introducing large amounts of new grammar, this course focuses on revisiting and practising essential language from A1 and A2, helping learners move from recognising Spanish to using it comfortably and naturally in conversation.

Throughout the course we will revisit and practise key topics such as:

• Greetings, introductions and personal details

• Talking about where you live and describing your town or home

• Discussing hobbies and free time activities

• Talking about family members and relationships

• Giving and justifying opinions

• Talking about past holidays and travel experiences

• Expressing likes and dislikes about food and exploring Hispanic cuisine

Learners will also strengthen important grammar foundations including:

• Conjugating regular present tense verbs

• Using common irregular verbs

• Using the past tense, including irregular forms

• Using stem-changing (boot) verbs

• Asking and answering questions naturally in conversation

The aim of this course is to help learners use Spanish more confidently in real contexts, strengthening their ability to hold conversations before moving on to the higher levels.

Each course runs for 12 weeks at a total cost of £160. A £75 deposit is required to secure your place, with the remaining balance due before the course begins (you will receive an automatic reminder via email one week prior).

We also run 6 week holiday courses throughout the year which are perfect for anyone preparing for a trip abroad and focuses more on specific travel situations to help you feel confident navigating real-life situations while travelling.

You’ll learn how to get around, ask for and understand directions, buy items in shops, and handle everyday interactions you are likely to encounter. We also cover key situations such as eating out, checking into hotels, visiting the pharmacy, and dealing with emergencies-giving you the language tools you need to travel with independence and ease.There is also an optional Travel Spanish workbook available for £10, designed to prepare you for specific situations you may encounter whilst on Holiday.
