Course descriptions: Conversation

Need to get some practice using your new language?

If you are finding that you are learning lots of Spanish but are not confident to use it, these courses are designed to help consolidate what you’ve learnt, and make it more useable!

We revise topics that are studied at various levels, so Conversation courses are named accordingly. They are suited to students who have completed, or are currently enrolled in the equivalent level, and would like to get some high-powered use.

They are great for those with some knowledge of Spanish, those wanting to return to study and who would like to check where their level sits, or even for University students needing a bit of a boost.
