Would you like to expand your basic knowledge of Spanish? With this Spanish beginners course at the University of Groningen Language Centre, you will learn about the Spanish language and culture in an interactive way. 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. During the course, we work towards CEFR level A1. 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.

What will you learn in this course?

The course consists of 12 two-hour lessons. During the course, you will learn, among other things:

  • Pronunciation
  • Present tense: irregular, and pronominal verbs
  • Present perfect: regular, irregular, and pronominal verbs
  • How to use the verbs saber and poder
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?
  • Describe people
  • Order something at a bar or a restaurant
  • Talk about daily routines
  • Talk about past experiences

After successfully completing this course, you will be ready for the follow-up course Spanish A1>A1/A2. You could also choose the Speak Up! Spanish elementary course, which focuses entirely on speaking.

The book focuses on the particular grammatical, lexical, and phonetic aspects of the Spanish language that are more difficult to learn for English speakers.

The teacher was always able to get everyone excited for class and had fun and educational assignments for our classes. The many slides were also the perfect addition to the book. The most important thing for me was that I was already able to successfully use my newly learned Spanish in Malaga.
