Certificate Course in Spanish

What is a Certificate Course in Spanish?

Our intensive Spanish Courses are designed to maximize proficiency in minimal time, covering essential communicative components such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar. The focus is on enabling students to learn and converse in Spanish as a foreign language. At this level, multimedia facilities are introduced partially, as students first need to grasp basic grammatical structures and vocabulary to make optimal use of these resources.

This introductory course aims to equip participants with basic communication skills, establishing a solid foundation for language learning. By the end of this level, you will master the present tense, allowing you to ask and answer questions about yourself and others, describe the weather, people, places, and things using present tense constructions.

The primary emphasis is on developing the ability to understand and produce written text on general topics. Conversational skills progress to a level of slow interaction upon completing this course.
