What will I achieve?

- talk about yourself and others
- use verbs at the present tense confidently
- talk about your daily routine in the past and in the present

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This course is not aimed at beginners. You will need to have studied Spanish in the past (GCSE, O'level or equivalent). This course will enable you to refresh your Spanish to be able to progress to our main provision in April.
It can also be a good revision course if you have completed a Spanish 1 course recently.

Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
Based on the tutor's own material.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
The tutor will advise you to join either a Spanish 2 lower course or a Spanish 2 lower at a gentle pace course in September according to your level. The tutor might advise a different level if appropriate, depending on your progress.
