Your Course
This course is suitable for those students who have already studied Spanish for about a year and a half. Instruction is given in Spanish using visual and audio supports. The course aims to develop the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish. It enables students to understand native Spanish speakers and will help them in practical conversation.

"Pasos 1" and "Pasos 2" will be used as a focus for study and additional supplementary material will be provided.
