Subject Overview:

This subject continues to focus on the acquisition of Spanish through a communicative approach to language learning but on a more advanced level than Spanish Beginners 1A. The students engage with more complex texts and a wider range of structures and vocabulary. Students will continue to encounter cultural aspects of the Hispanic world which are regularly presented in the language classes. This subject enables students to interact in Spanish using some past tenses in everyday situations.
