Introduction to Spanish Course Beginners (Please note that there will be a half-term break in October)
With Eloisa Echevarne
This Spanish Year 1 Beginners course is an introduction to the Spanish language and culture. This course will give you the opportunity to speak in Spanish from the very first class, since you will acquire the language as we have learned through our mother-tongue. During the first term, you will learn how to greet people and how to introduce yourself, talk about your professions and preferences as well as to talk about your holidays. In each class you will get to communicate in Spanish and become informed by practising conversations, watching videos, as well as engaging in role play. You will have the chance to work in groups and individually.
The main aim of this course is to get communicating in Spanish, either orally or in writing, in a dynamic and interactive environment. There will be different ways of approaching all the language skills i.e. listening, speaking, reading and writing.
For example, if you like Spanish food, culture and their “fiestas” we will find creative and interactive ways to bring the outside world into the Spanish classroom.

About the Tutor
¡Hola!
My name is Eloísa and I am a native Spanish teacher living in Norwich. I received my QTS at Kingston University in London in 2005 and since then, I have been teaching at Secondary and Primary schools, as well as offering private tuition to children, young people and adults of all abilities. My professional lessons include the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), however, I believe that the most enjoyable competency is the oral one as verbal communication is what fulfils the learners’ desire. I love the rewarding aspect of the teaching experience and I can help you if you would like to start speaking Spanish, so why not to give it a try! Looking forward to meeting with you
