In Term 2 you will take the Spanish you learned in the first term and apply it to real travel situations. The focus shifts toward practical communication in places like restaurants, shops, hotels and pharmacies. You will learn how to order food confidently, understand menus, ask for recommendations and talk about quantities using common verbs such as querer, preferir and tomar. As the term continues you will explore everyday shopping language so you can ask about prices, sizes and colors, use comparisons and interact naturally with shop assistants.
You will also develop the skills needed to handle accommodation and travel needs. This includes booking a hotel room, requesting services and explaining simple problems without using past tenses. You will learn useful phrases such as “tengo un problema” and “¿puede ayudarme?”, which help you communicate clearly in unfamiliar situations. Later you will focus on health related language so you can describe symptoms, express pain and ask for support in pharmacies or clinics using structures like me duele and tener + noun.
The term finishes with a full review and practical roleplays that bring all your skills together. You will practice real scenarios involving restaurants, hotels, directions, shopping, airports and general information requests. You will also take part in a short oral assessment where you introduce yourself, describe places, express your needs and talk about simple travel plans using ir a + infinitive. By the end of Term 2 you will feel more confident navigating Spanish speaking environments and communicating with greater ease.

Meet your tutor:
My name is Deborah, and I come from Madrid, the vibrant capital of Spain. I was born in Santiago de Compostela, the city famous for marking both the beginning and the end of the “Camino de Santiago.”
After completing my teaching qualification, I chose to move to England in September 2006 to truly master the language and immerse myself in the culture.
I’ve always been fascinated by languages—their structure, their history, and the way they allow us to connect with others on a deeper level. Understanding a language opens the door to understanding people, and that has always inspired me.
Over the years, I’ve taught in schools, delivered Spanish classes, and offered private tutoring. I now dedicate myself to working full-time as a Spanish tutor, helping learners develop their skills and encouraging them to explore and appreciate Spanish and Latin culture
