Continue developing your intermediate Spanish fluency and confidence with our Intermediate Spanish: B1.2 Course, suitable for learners who have completed our Intermediate Spanish: B1.1 Course or have approximately 220 hours of prior study. This course helps you expand your ability to communicate more confidently in Spanish while strengthening your understanding of key grammar and vocabulary needed for everyday conversation. It is ideal for learners interested in learning Spanish for cultural interest or personal enrichment in a supportive and interactive learning environment.
You will practise communication in situations such as talking about future plans and possibilities, expressing conditions, discussing scientific and technological developments, and summarising the plot of books, films, and television programs. Grammar is taught in context and includes the future simple tense, first conditional sentences, expressions of probability, and the use of direct and indirect object pronouns. Vocabulary development focuses on topics such as science and technology, entertainment and storytelling, and verbs used to describe narration and communication, helping you organise ideas and tell stories more clearly in Spanish.
