Spanish A1 is designed for students with no knowledge of the Spanish language. Students familiarize themselves with the basics of Spanish grammar and spelling and acquire a vocabulary of roughly 700 words. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to confidently approach a number of everyday situations in Spanish and write short, creative essays. The grammar taught in this course includes: pronouns, adjectives, the present, the imperative and past tenses (present perfect, simple past and indefinite past) of the most common verbs. At the end of the course students are prepared to sit an external examination to receive the European Language certificate, the DELE, corresponding to their current level, if they so choose.
