Term 1 Spanish Classes: 5th February – 12th April


Fluency-Building Courses for 2024

The flagship classes at the Travelling Koala! Currently, we offer nine types of Spanish fluency-building courses during year. These run as ten-week courses which will run four times per year in 2024. Term 1 begins 5th February 2024.

The nine levels, three beginner, three intermediate, and three advanced, which build on each other, run as weekly 1.5 hour classes.

Most classes, whether beginner or advanced, have multiple day and time slots. They are designed to help students grasp the basics or improve their knowledge of the Spanish language. Our Spanish language classes in Melbourne are intended for people ranging from complete beginners to seasoned linguists who wish to travel overseas and need basic travel skills, to those who wish to hit a reasonable conversational level or take that level beyond. The classes are also for those looking to have fun and expose themselves to Hispanic culture in an interactive learning environment.

Emphasis is on vocabulary, everyday phrases and conversation. Grammar relevant to the skill level will also be introduced and expanded upon, depending on the level. Learning will be done through a cross-training approach, and will include reading, writing, role-play (oral conversation) and listening.

Take me to fluency-building courses term 1 2024.

Conversational Spanish Classes with some Grammar

If your Spanish is quite good, or if you’re a fast learner and you’re the type of person who throws themselves in, you might enjoy these hybrid classes. Conversation topics might include food or travel. Grammar topics are covered as they come up in conversation, and certain weeks might be dedicated to a general beginner or intermediate topic, such as reflexive verbs, or the preterit and the imperfect. Check for availability of more advanced classes that cover themes such as climate change or space exploration.
