BEGINNER 4.5-HR CONVERSATION
Beginner Conversation (4.5-hr) - Revise and consolidate topics of Elementary 1. Good if you’ve learned some Spanish informally (through traveling/apps/friends) or if you’ve completed Elementary 1 and need some revision/practice.
Practice talking about yourself and others, masculine and feminine nouns and adjectives, basic present tense verbs and more. The course consists of 3 x 1.5hr classes.
Spanish for Travel
If you're a total beginner and want to prepare for an upcoming trip you can take our entire Spanish for Travel course over two weeks! If this sounds like you, you'll want the 7.5-hr Spanish for Travel Intensive.
Verb Workshops!
We've created five, unique 3-hour sessions to present these overviews, for various verb types and tenses. We show the conjugation patterns of regular verbs, and look for patterns within irregulars – even irregular verbs have patterns within their irregularity!
In the 'conjugation' Verb Workshops we look at the forms and in the 'uses' Verb Workshops, we practise how to use them. In Verb Workshop Subjunctive you see the conjugation of the present subjunctive and some key uses.
You can do a single one of 3 hours, or more than one. Discounts are available for booking multiple workshops.
