Spanish at Home COURSES

Beginner: For those with no knowledge of Spanish whatsoever, Spanish at Home tutors begin with a spoken learning plan from day one, with simple phrases, pronunciation, verbs and the alphabet, only using a written media for consolidation and your own revision between lessons. The course for beginners leads perfectly into lower intermediate, and students are able to progress immediately following their course or remain for longer to build experience and confidence.

Lower intermediate : This might be described as a GCSE type level, although not strictly adhering to any curriculum unless required. Anyone with an understanding of basic Spanish conversational phrases, vocabulary, the present tense, pronunciation and the alphabet is eligible for this course. We speak largely in Spanish, with students expected to apply themselves to interaction, using Spanish to ask questions. This Spanish at Home course should take you to upper intermediate level upon completion.

Upper intermediate : For those with a basic understanding of speech and written work, you will understand daily newspapers and can follow approximately 80% of a normal Spanish conversation. You mostly know what you need to say or write, however your vocabulary and verb tense knowledge is limited. We will engage in topical conversation and incorporate structured learning sessions to advance areas such as verb tense and vocabulary. Some written work included.

Advanced: Largely conversational, this course is intended for those who are comfortable in conversation and intend to improve their knowledge of technical language, verbs and idioms. Written work is usually provided only on request, however we always tailor courses to individual needs.

Practice & Maintenance: Demand demonstrates that a number of you are fluent in Spanish and need to stay on top of news and current affairs, so your language does not become dated and keeps up with the new millennium! On this course we will engage in everyday conversation of your choice with simple, conversational (entirely Spanish) correction and direction.

After School Clubs: Spanish at Home runs after school clubs for children of any age who would like to get a taste of Spain and some basic Spanish vocabluary. We provide materials including tapes, books and videos. We require schools to provide the necessary extra helpers for large groups of children.
