Brief Description
This is a course for beginners where you will learn how to communicate effectively in everyday situations in Spanish-speaking countries (Spain and 20 Latin American countries).
We believe that learning is an active, constructive process; learning through action! We think that speaking is one of the most important ways to learn and boost confidence, so we encourage you to consolidate what you have learnt through role play and conversation. Oral and written interactions, listening comprehension, reading, oral and written expression; learn to use!
