The Spanish - Intermediate course builds on knowledge from the Spanish - Beginners course and assumes that you have completed at least two terms of recent study in Spanish tuition. Parts of the class will be conducted in Spanish to improve your listening skills.

During the course, you will become more familiar with grammar and further improve on your vocabulary. By the end of the course, you will be able to better express your needs in Spanish with confidence and fluency, understand what you hear and read and deliver a simple report orally and in writing.

Course testimonials:

Andrew said: The instructor is excellent at presenting the course content in a friendly and informative manner whilst delivering the learning outcomes. Thank You
Beth said: I really enjoyed learning Spanish with Pilar. She was competent with the technology required to run Zoom classes. Each lesson was well prepared, fun, interesting and interactive. Homework was given in advance so we had ample time to complete it before each lesson. I felt I made significant progress in my language learning during the term I studied Spanish with Pilar.
Catherine said: The convenience of the online course is the best format for me. I feel more confident that it is guaranteed to continue without any disruptions in case of covid outbreaks. Additionally, I was able to attend a class even though I was away on holiday one week which I would have had to have missed if the course was classroom based. The teacher Pilar is excellent. She has a very good rapport with the students and knows each one individually. She can gauge students' levels and confidence very quickly and gives the right amount on support, encouragement and challenge depending on the different student's abilities.
