Level A1 www.thespanishfactory.co.uk | hola@thespanishfactory.co.uk
About the Course Our Spanish Intensive Course is designed for all those who need to start speaking Spanish fast, whether for holiday or business purposes.
We have designed our Spanish Intensive A1 course with the objective of making all students speak Spanish from the first lesson. The course is an intensive preparation in beginners Spanish and suits perfectly for people who wish to have a quick language preparation for business or holiday purposes, or simply want to kick-start their Spanish learningship with an Intensive study. The main subjects that will be covered are within the everyday context and things you will definitely need while being abroad, such as introductions, asking for help, asking and answering about personal details and many more. The course has been designed by language professionals and will include all necessary aspects of studying Spanish such as parts of grammar,
vocabulary, reading and listening, but the idea over our innovative study is that the course will not treat the subjects passively, but will include lots of playful activities in groups as well as individually, as we believe that communication with your classmates and with the teacher will bring much better results than just a book-based study. All of our Spanish teachers who run the course are native Spanish speakers and highly experienced in the area to ensure they deliver to the high standard that you would want for your studies. It is important to us that you leave the course completely satisfied, so whatever the level of support you require during the course, we will be there for any additional questions and issues as our goal is to make it as enjoyable as possible and worthwhile for your specific needs.
Ideal for Ideal for those who have very little or no experience with Spanish studies and simply want to kick-start learning Spanish or have planned travelling to Spanish speaking countries.
