    Learning materials

    Depending on your level and needs...

    we will use a textbook with CD (I recommend Español en Marcha or Aula Plus Internacional, which you can buy online), plus exercises, video clips and other free material that I will supply to complement your textbook.

    Frequency

    Recommendation:

    When learning a new language, practice and repetition are essential. Therefore, I recommend having 1 to 3 hours of class per week (sessions of 1 or 1.5 hrs.). The more time you study and practice, the more you will be able to learn new information and communicate well in a new language.

    What is your level?

    Common European Framework

    The Common European Framework divides learners into six levels; for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing. Visit this guideline to find out your level.
