Getting started with Spanish

This course is for learners with no previous knowledge of the language that want to start from the very beginning. Lessons will cover simple but key aspects of the language in a variety of everyday situations to give you the foundation needed at this early stage. Learning takes place using an immersive and collaborative approach in which active practice and communication are vital.

You will learn to introduce yourself and to understand very simple conversations in the language. You will also start learning basic grammar to help develop a foundation to build on if you want to continue learning the language.

There will be no exams or qualifications. This course will mainly be delivered in the language using an immersive approach. Whilst you will, predominantly, be using speaking and listening skills in class, it is also important to recognise and address the fact that reading and writing skills are also very important at this level. Reading and writing will be explored as part of weekly homework, via Google Classroom, which the tutor will mark and feed the results back to you. This will help you both to know what needs to be done to help you progress.

This course is for those with no knowledge of the language.

This course leads to a Spanish language for beginners course (equivalent to CEFR A1). Your tutor will share your next steps with you before the end on your course.
