Elementary Spanish

Introduction

This course is suitable for those who have completed the Introduction to Spanish course or who otherwise have a knowledge of basic Spanish phrases and can conjugate common regular verbs in the present tense.

This course is intended for anyone interested in building on their basic knowledge. You will extend your use of the present tense and learn some phrases in order to speak a little in the past and future tenses also. It will allow for more effective communication with Spanish speakers, perhaps when on holiday in Spain or the Latin-American countries.
