Spanish Stage 1
This is for beginners and aims to cover the following subjects: we'll learn how to say who you are, where you live, what your job is, and talk about your family. We'll look at how to buy clothes in a shop, book into a hotel, get out of an airport, and how to order food in a restaurant. As far as the grammar is concerned we'll look at singular and plural, masculine and feminine, and the present tense, and if things go quickly, we may look at the past tense too. The main emphasis will be on speaking the language, so that you can go to the country, and make your way around
Spanish Stage 2
This follows on from the stage one last term. We will learn to talk in situations like going into a shop, buying clothes, visiting friends etc. We will look in more detail at different tenses, and genders, masculine and feminine. We may also look at magazine articles. This is suitable for people who may have done a little of the language before, not neccesarily with me.
Spanish Stage 3
This is aimed at people who have done some before perhaps a year or two We will learn to talk in situations like going into a shop, buying clothes, visiting friends etc. We will look in more detail at different tenses, and genders, masculine feminine and neuter, and cases. We may also look at magazine articles and begin to write very mini essays.
Spanish Higher Intermediate
This class is a roughly GCSE/ A-level level. Students who speak other Latin languages or have studied them to A-level or degree level could join too. We read and listen to recordings of newspaper articles and translate them and discuss them together As far as the grammar is concerned we'll revise the present tense, and masculine and feminine, singular and plural, and then look at the past and possibly future and conditional
tenses in detail. We will also look at articles from the Spanish news.
Spanish Advanced
This is for people who have done quite a few years of Spanish at school, perhaps up to A level or degree level. We read Spanish newspaper articles together and use them as a basis for discussion. As far as the grammar is concerned we'll revise the present tense, and masculine and feminine, singular and plural, and then look at the past and possibly future tenses in detail. We look at slang, and colloquial expressions. We'll also have a go at reading magazine excerpts, and writing short essays.
