Beginners Level

Am I a Beginner level?

¡Claro que sí! (Of course)... provided that you understand the basic actions in Spanish which include "to like to do", "to have done" and "to be doing". You are also a beginner if you can say the following in Spanish:

• I am going to call you tomorrow.
• Maria hasn't called me today.
• My friends and I like to go out on the weekends.
• I am studying Spanish because I want to be able to speak to them.

In our beginner level we will go into details of present, past and future conjugations. All this as we get a taste of the subjunctive from time to time.

Please be aware that having Hispanic heritage (so, it's in your blood, right?), or having taken a Spanish class here or there, or having travelled to Spanish-speaking countries, but being able to say close-to-nada does not qualify you as a Beginner instead of Intro. If you think (or know) that you are a beginner, this assessment will be a piece of cake CLICK HERE.
