What is the course about?
Looking for a Spanish class in Warrington or Winsford? This short adult course is designed for beginners who have completed our Introduction to Spanish course and are ready to build on their existing knowledge of the language.
To get the most out of this course, it is essential that you have already completed the introductory level, as it provides the core grammar foundation needed to progress further in Spanish.
As with any language, regular practice outside the classroom is key to success. You will receive handouts each week to support your learning, although there is no formal homework requirement.
Why should I choose the course?
This adult course focuses on developing the vocabulary and grammar needed to build confidence in everyday situations within a Spanish-speaking environment. It places particular emphasis on key speaking skills, including pronunciation, intonation, and overall confidence.
Alongside this, you will explore techniques to support your progress in writing, reading, and listening. You will also deepen your understanding of the language while gaining insight into Spanish culture.
What will I learn?
On this short course, you will:
- Learn to express likes and dislikes, and give your opinions on a range of topics
- Develop the ability to ask for and tell the time, and discuss when events take place
- Talk about future plans and activities using the future tense
- Understand and describe weather forecasts, seasons, and related vocabulary, including appropriate clothing and adjective agreement
- Identify parts of the body, describe symptoms, and give basic advice in everyday situations.
You will be informally assessed by your tutor throughout the course, and you will also reflect on your progress each week using an individual learning plan.
What will the course lead on to?
This course provides a natural progression on to other Spanish courses at the college. As you advance, you will continue to build your skills and develop greater confidence in using the Spanish language in a range of everyday situations.
