About this course

Level 1 Spanish Speaking and Listening Course in Loughborough. Classes run at Loughborough Library on evenings, so you can fit study around your week.

The course builds on everyday Spanish you already have. You'll practise talking about daily life, travel, shopping, and plans, and develop your use of present, past, and future tenses.

You'll finish with a Level 1 Award in Speaking and Listening in Spanish.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for learners who have either completed a Level 1 Part 1 course in your chosen language or who can already get by in everyday holiday or business settings, and have started to use the simplest ways of expressing present, past and future tenses. It will build on the topics covered in the previous course such as personal information, daily routine, shopping, travelling, future plans and past holidays. Using a variety of learning materials including DVDs, CDs, practical activities, games, books and the internet, the main emphasis will be on developing your range of vocabulary to help you hold short conversations including talking about things in the past (e. g. what you did at the weekend) and the future (e. g. holiday plans).
