Service Description
What you will learn The A1 course is designed for students who have no prior exposure to Spanish. Students will begin by learning how to introduce themselves in Spanish and understand the structure of the language; how to form verbs, sentences and ask questions.They are then directed to very important vocabulary needed for any beginner in Spanish, so that they will be able to answer simple questions and also ask some themselves. Later they will continue on to the conjugation of different verbs and HOW and WHEN to use these verbs. This is because of the nature of Spanish as a romance language and how it informs itself. Later on they will progress to other forms of speech used to describe items in more detail and clearly. Lastly they will complete another form of the present tense; the present continuous tense so that students are able to describe actions they are doing in the present and have been doing for some while. In the end, the course aims to give students a proper introduction of Spanish at the extreme beginner level and sensitize them to the intricacies of romance languages and how they inform expression and quantification in their own way. Spanish being a romance language has a radically different structure from English in some ways, and as such, this course aims to point out these differences before advancing to further levels.
