Spanish II, group 1, A1+

Spanish II, A1+ is addressed to students with few previous knowledge of the Spanish language. We work with Nuevo español en marcha A1-A2 (from lesson 5). The topics which 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, 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 similar)
• 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 (7-10 minutes)
