By the end of the course, learners will be able to initiate and respond to simple statements concerning immediate needs or very familiar topics; e.g. form simple sentences and expressions about themselves, the people they know and their neighbourhood. Grammar areas covered include personal pronouns and present tense of regular and irregular verbs.

Spanish Language II (LAE200) is designed for learners who already possess some basic knowledge of the Spanish language.

Learners will increase their basic lexical and grammatical knowledge, and gain more insight into the cultural aspects pertaining to Spanish-speaking countries. At the end of the course, learners will be able to express and understand communication related to simple needs in both predictable and common situations (e.g. daily life activities, express their likes / dislikes, health matters, family). Grammar areas covered include the present progressive (continuous) tense, prepositional phrases and the past perfect tense involving regular and irregular verbs. Upon completion of this course, learners will be eligible to register for the international examination DELE A1 (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language, Level A1).
