Do you already have a good basic knowledge of Spanish and do you enjoy the language so much that you want to learn more? In this follow-up course Spanish for beginners of the University of Groningen Language Centre your grasp of the Spanish language will continue to increase. Our teaching method for the Spanish beginners course focuses on speaking and understanding the Spanish language. With this method, you will quickly feel at home in this beautiful language and you will automatically expand your grammar knowledge and vocabulary.
Who is this course for?
This course is for beginners of Spanish at CEFR level A1/A2. During the course, we work towards level A2. The course is taught in Spanish as much as possible, with explanations provided in Dutch or English depending on the group participants. It is therefore important that you have a good command of English in order to participate in the course.
If you are unsure whether this level is right for you, you can test yourself online using the placement test! Alternatively, make an appointment for the online consultation to get personal advice from our teacher.
What will you learn in this course?
The course comprises 12 two-hour lessons. During the course, you will learn, among other things:
- More vocabulary
- How to use the verbs ser and estar
- The present tense and the imperative
- The past tenses: pretérito perfecto, pretérito indefinido, and pretérito imperfecto
How many hours of independent study are required?
To properly keep up with the course, you will have to take into account a total of 30 hours of self-study. Self-study mainly comprises grammar exercises, vocabulary development, and listening exercises. You will also be asked to do a reading or writing exercise every now and again.
What will you be able to do after the course?
- Make recommendations
- Talk about past experiences
- Have a conversation about taste, eating habits and recipes
