NEAR-NATIVE SPANISH

Students that have reached this level are able to speak, read, write and understand Spanish at near- native level. This means they are able to communicate in Spanish in similar ways as native speakers do; however they may still need professional assistance regarding finer aspects of grammar or on the phonological (sounds patterns) of Spanish. Our Conversación y Gramática and Hablemos belong here. Students at this level can also enrol in the Advanced Spanish level courses.
