Foundation Spanish

Michel Thomas Foundation Spanish

£80

Nine hours of structured learning takes you from the basic building blocks of the Spanish language to creating your own sentences.

 

Spanish is one of our original courses, taught by Michel Thomas himself. Listen as he teaches two students with no previous knowledge of the language and join in as the third student in Michel’s class, pausing and responding when prompted. The courses are unscripted: you hear the students’ real progression from absolute beginners to confident speakers – including their mistakes and Michel’s corrections. You’ll learn in small, manageable steps, building your ability to produce ever more complicated sentences.

 

You will start with common words and loan words, giving you a substantial starting vocabulary within your first hours of learning. By the end of the course, you will be confidently formulating sentences in the present, future and past tenses.

Why learn Spanish?

 

Spanish is one of the world’s most widely spoken languages, after English, Mandarin Chinese and Hindi.

 

There are more than 550 million Spanish speakers in more than 20 countries, from Spain to Africa and the Americas, and millions of others studying it as a second language. It is a truly international language with huge global influence which only continues to grow, not least because it is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

 

Did you know that there are more Spanish speakers (native and non-native speakers combined) in the United States than there are in Spain? The version taught here is a simple, universal form of Spanish that will allow you to communicate throughout Spain and Latin America – though it does stick to the Spanish usage of vosotros for the plural of ‘you’ and uses Peninsular Spanish pronunciation.

 

The Spanish language developed from Latin, and is part of the Romance language family, meaning that it is closely related to French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese. Many English words also have Latin roots, making some Spanish words easy to recognize, such as importancia (importance) and confirmación (confirmation).
