Matthew and I have put together a Spanish language on-line course. This course comprises of video lessons given by Matthew. The beginners to intermediate course cover the grammar needed to enable students to speak in the present, past and future tense and the intermediate to advanced course covers all the grammar needed to be able to speak with fluency.

Podcasts
To accompany these courses we have produced podcasts in which a specially written simple story is read out by Matthew and various Spanish people. There are examples on each podcast of the grammar used in its accompanying lesson, as well as some vocabulary and useful phrases. This story, vocabulary and useful phrases are also written on each lesson page, allowing you to hear and read Spanish. The story starts very simply in English and Spanish until the 2nd course where the poscasts will be totally in Spanish.

Exercises
Each video lesson also has an accompanying exercise to do, enabling students to fully understand that lesson before moving on to the next.

Additional Resources
Finally, the membership area also includes more resources to help our members learn Spanish, These include extra vocabulary exercises that members can download and use on their own computers with the free flip card programme. Additional Spanish language e-books and a desktop translator which members can download and use. Matthew's virtual classroom, where he will set special exercises and assignments for our members. On top of that we offer lots of video clips of local Spanish people talking, describing things and asking the viewer questions to encourage students to try out their answers. Next to the video clips students can choose whether to see the transcript in English, Spanish or none by a simple click of a button, depending on their level of understanding. We will be constantly adding more of these video clips, many of which show clear examples of the grammar given in a particular video lesson. Each video clip is marked with a level and accompanying lesson number if appropriate.

SLS Spanish Club
Off course, you can see what a great online club we also provide to members and non-members alike here. Matthew will continue to give his support in this area for language learning and we can all enjoy discussing all sorts of topics to do with Spain, its culture and its people..
