Course Summary

Spoken by 470 million people across 22 countries, Spanish is one of the fastest growing languages on the planet. This means learning Spanish will lead to many fulfilling travel experiences and possibly overseas job opportunities. You will work to develop all aspects of your Spanish including: pronunciation, accent, grammar, emphasis and clarity of expression.

A-level Spanish builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE. It constitutes an integrated study with a focus on language, culture and society.
