Overview
This is a highly intensive ab-initio course for students with little or no previous knowledge of Spanish. It introduces students to the fundamentals of Spanish grammar and usage, aiming to strike a balance between an analytical, reflective approach to learning and the development of basic communication skills. The course will involve three closely integrated classes per week to develop speaking, writing and listening skills, and a further hour to assist students towards the rapid acquisition of spoken Spanish.
Structure
3 one-hour seminars a week; one further tutorial a week.
