Spanish
Video Lessons
Each Spanish video lesson is accompanied
by a podcast which you can listen to whilst reading
the transcript on the page. The podcasts are especially
designed to reinforce the grammar lessons, and so help
you progress rapidly by developing 'an ear' for the
Spanish language. The podcasts include vocabulary,
Spanish conversations from our story, 'A Traveller
in Spain' and some useful phrases.
Our Spanish story, 'A Traveller in Spain'
On each video lesson page you will find a transcript
from our story to read. This Spanish story has been
specifically written to reinforce the accompanying
grammar lesson and improve your understanding of written
Spanish. As your level improves, (intermediate to advanced
course) the story is written and spoken completely
in Spanish. This story is also in
a flip book format that subscribers can access and
print out in the special Flip Story group in the SLS
Spanish Club - see below.
Exercises
As well as the 88 video lessons and podcasts, (full
course) we also offer our subscribers exercises to do on
each grammar point, vocabulary exercises, PLUS Video
clips of Spanish
people talking. You will be
able to choose whether to view the transcripts in Spanish
or English or none on each pop-up video page depending
on your level of understanding. There are also plenty
more exercises in our SLS
Spanish Club
