This is a course for experienced and confident learners who have already completed at least three years of part time study or have an AS qualification before joining the class. You will develop your language skills to describe experiences, events, hopes, and express your opinion on a variety of topics. We will use authentic materials to cover the culture and current affairs of the Hispanic world.  The emphasis will be on fluency and communicating in Spanish but also some grammar and written work will be covered as appropriate.

Please note: due to the early May bank holiday and the coronation, classes on Mondays 1st and 8th of May will be rescheduled to Tuesday 2nd and Tuesday 9th May. On these days the class will start at 15:00 until 16:30

Half term is 29th May – 2nd June 2023
