Description

This course is suitable for students who have studied or picked up Spanish at basic level and who want to revise and progress onto intermediate topics and language and to discover Hispanic culture. The main focus is learning through communication and interaction. We will get together from home with Zoom, which offers us many possibilities to watch videos, listen to audio, read texts, write (there is even a whiteboard!) and especially speak in small and large groups. ¡Te esperamos!

Please note: This course will be taught in person and online. The Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes each week will be class room based/face to face teaching at CUED. The classes on Thursday 7 July and Tuesday 12 July will be taught online, using Zoom.

You must be able to attend all sessions as 'in-person' classes are not recorded.

Prerequisites

For those with a basic knowledge of Spanish and those who have managed to pick up the basics of the language whilst travelling/working in a country.
