Improve your oral fluency in Spanish!

Oral Fluency in Spanish Workshop

These face-to-face oral fluency workshops are designed to help you gain self-confidence when speaking in Spanish. It is a 30-hour course in which in each of the sessions you will develop skills to communicate and be able to successfully interact in Spanish daily life. In order to do this, the workshop follows a practical and participatory methodology based on carrying out activities actively using the language: day-to-day oral exchanges, simulations, conversations about current affairs, interviews, surveys, group discussions or dialogues in pairs. Furthermore, special emphasis will be placed on certain phonetic aspects that will help you to improve your pronunciation and intonation.
