Course Structure
The course structure follows a book designed by Spanish Learning Centre for the Level 1 course. The audio used helps to reinforce and assist your understanding of spoken Spanish.
The Level 1 textbook has a Plan of Study at the beginning of the book which will guide you through the lessons. You will find the content of the lessons, the activities of the lessons and, most importantly, you will find your homework in the column to the right called “tarea” (homework). If you miss a lesson you will be able to look at your Plan of Study to see what you have missed and catch up with your homework.
