If you're brand new to Spanish, this is the level for you. Newbie lessons are given in English, and when we introduce Spanish there is plenty of clear repetition. The dialogues are repeated three times, are translated, and then analyzed. Basic phrases and expressions used for courtesy and travel are emphasized, along with grammatical support for communication in the immediate present.
In the Elementary level we’ll hear how to discuss events that happened in the present and past, and how to express opinions and preferences. This level features longer dialogues, more elements of grammar, and a wider range of everyday applications than the Newbie lessons. The hosts give a thorough treatment of lesson content, including grammar structures and pronunciation. If you’re comfortably understanding the Elementary lessons, you're ready for Intermediate. At this level, we’ll begin to narrate events more precisely in the past, present, and future. In these lessons the hosts speak almost entirely in Spanish, with key explanations in English. At the Upper Intermediate level we’ll show you how to add conjecture and conditionality to your speech. By this level, you should be comfortable speaking in the past, present, and future, so you’re ready to practice the dreaded Spanish subjunctive mood. We’ll be speaking primarily in Spanish, and shifting back to English for the occasional vocabulary item. Advanced lessons focus on introducing specialized vocabulary, practicing problematic grammatical features, and lively Spanish language discussion. The lessons are conducted entirely in Spanish, including explanations of grammar and vocabulary. They also feature more use of idioms than the lower levels. [Extra] Que Pasa
