Spanish II, group 7, A1+

Spanish Semester II, A1+ is addressed to students with few previous knowledge. We work with Nuevo español en marcha básico, A1-A2 (from lesson 5).
The topics that will be discussed are mainly those from everyday life. During the semester, however, business-related issues will increasingly become more important. Using a variety of texts, translations and other exercises, the students will learn to talk about the world of business.

Attention will be given in particular to the following topics:

a) Grammar:

• Verbs used in the 3rd. person with an Indirect Object ("me gusta" and similars)
• Imperative positive
• Verbs "ser", "estar" and "hay". Use from "ser" and "estar" in descriptions
• Gerund
• Past tense „Indefinido“

b) Oral expression: Presentation about a Spanish-speaking country in Latin America or somewhere else or a Spanish region (5-10 minutes)


The main objective of the course is to improve the students' writing and oral language capabilities. By business- related exercises the students will extend their vocabulary.
