You will have recently completed a Lower Intermediate course or have a GCSE, perhaps from some time ago. You will be learning other past tenses and other tenses commonly used on a daily basis in France like the subjunctive and conditional. There will be a strong emphasis on speaking and listening and more specific vocabulary will also be introduced. As the course progresses the course will concentrate more on conversation while still revising key grammar structures students may feel they have not fully mastered.
This course aims to enable students to talk about aspects of Spanish culture and current affairs.
