Spanish Beginners Level 2

This course builds on Spanish Level 1, and is appropriate for those who already have a foundation of the Spanish language. You will learn additional expressions which will provide them with the ability to show possession and give opinions about subjects that are prevalent among locals.

At the end of the course, you will be able to craft a short presentation about a Hispanic country they would like to visit using content from this course. This course is designed for students who already possess a clear understanding of beginner Spanish grammar and basic Spanish vocabulary.

You will continue expanding your vocabulary and conversational skills, as well as verb conjugation including the past simple tense and the future simple tense.

Topics

  • Practice oral conversations to improve your confidence
  • Use your knowledge of indefinite and definite articles to create sentences with both singular and plural nouns
  • Sentence structures with simple past and future tense (includes common irregular past tense verbs)
  • The use of comparatives and superlatives to highlight distinctive differences when comparing objects and places
  • Expansion of question formation using different tenses, nouns, and adjectives
  • Introduction to possessive adjectives to create sentences related to ownership and family relationships which will help students communicate more effectively
  • Adverbs of frequency and manner will be introduced to encourage students to enrich their sentences with more detailed descriptions
  • Indirect, direct object, and reflexive pronouns

No materials required, but bringing something to write notes about your learning is encouraged.
