This course is designed for experienced learners who have already completed at least two years of part-time study before joining the class.

You will further develop your language skills and gain the confidence to communicate in a variety of situations, including holidays, travel, and health-related contexts. The course will help you describe experiences and events in greater detail, as well as express opinions, wishes, and future plans more effectively.

The emphasis will be on developing listening and speaking skills, while also incorporating grammar and written activities to support your overall language proficiency. Through a range of practical and engaging topics, you will continue to build your understanding of the cultures and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries.
