This course has a clear curriculum, and we will work on developing your speaking, listening, writing and reading skills, through a communicative and interactive approach. The lessons are tailored to suit you. I focus on your interests to help you engage with the language. The topics range from Everyday Spanish (news, art, small talk, technology, sports or whatever topic you are interested in) to Business Spanish (job interview preparation, business talk, presentations, etc.)

Methodology:
The lessons will follow a task-based approach, where the focus is on the use of authentic language and you are asked to perform meaningful and real-life tasks in Spanish. You will also have a dedicated Google Doc for our lessons, where you'll find the lesson plan and the homework.

Homework:
You will be provided with activities to reinforce what we learned during the lessons, as well as a list of books, podcasts and videos to be in contact with real Spanish from day 1.
