Course Description

This is the second course in the 3 Minute Spanish series and it consists of lessons 10-18. If you're familiar with all the words and phrases you learnt in the course 1, then you're ready to go!
The good thing about the 3 Minute Spanish courses is that everything you learn is recapped in later lessons, so you don't have to worry about going back to the start to refresh your memory (although you can if you like, it won't harm you). At the end of every lesson are some recap practice exercises to make sure words and phrases you learnt previously are still secure in your memory.
In this course, you'll start to look at some different sentence structures in Spanish. You'll be looking at some ways to ask questions and then you'll get an introduction to a very useful part of the language: verbs. All of this will open up the Spanish language to you, giving you many more things to say. Don't worry if you've never come across verbs before, or if you've had a bad experience with learning grammar; everything in this course is explained in a simple and easy to understand way.
As well as the new structures, we'll be exploring some new topic areas including telling the time in Spanish, booking taxis and asking where things are. We'll also look at an interesting linguistic feature in English called the Saxon Genitive, and we'll discover that it doesn't exist in Spanish so we'll need ways to get around it.
The best way to tackle the trickier features of any language is to spread them out rather than looking at them all at once. Sometimes, when you open a foreign language instruction book, all the linguistic features of the language are introduced on the first page, and it can often be very off putting! In the 3 Minute Spanish courses, I have broken them down and spread them about. We look at each particular feature when it crops up naturally in the order of the course. In this course, there are a few such features that need explaining in order to understand how some of the Spanish structures work.
In this course, there are also some more Vocabulary Expansion Sheets for you to boost your Spanish vocabulary.
I hope you enjoy :-)KieranWho this course is for:
This course is for aimed at anybody who has already completed the "3 Minute Spanish - Course 1" and would like to progress further

Instructor Details

Kieran Ball

Hello, bonjour, hola, hallo, ciao and ol!
Im Kieran and Im a language tutor based in the UK, and I also create online courses and write books to make language learning accessible to all.
My books and online courses are based on the methodology I developed for teaching languages, which I've beenusing in all my classes for many years. The methodology will get you speaking quickly, without the struggle normally associated with language learning.
Ill not bore you with my life story or intricate details of the history of the methodology; I know you probably just want to start learning now, so Ill let you get on with it.
I have created three series of language courses available in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. They're called: '3 Minute Languages', 'Building Structures' and 'Quick Guides'.

3 Minute Languages
The 3 Minute Languages courses are perfect for the complete beginner. They will get you speaking a language from scratch, assuming you know absolutely nothing. You will be amazed at how quickly youre able to put sentences together. And you will memorise new words and phrases easily without even trying.

Building Structures
The Building Structures courses are a revolutionary way to look at foreign language acquisition; you will learn how any language can be broken down into around fifteen structures. Each course focuses on a different structure, and you will learn how to form it,

I am Happy to learn this course online with so much enthusiasm which is building confidence in me in day to day life when I speak to my clients overseas a little little.

By Christine Finnegan on 10/10/2020

Great course, just like course #1. Presented well, concepts and explanations easy to understand.... instructor's voice is easy to listen to - right tone and listening level. Screen shots with only a few words or sentences on each eliminates the mind from trying to absorb to much at one time. This allows for better concentration and easier to absorb and remember. Looking forward to class 3 in the "3 Minute Spanish" courses.
