¡Bienvenidos! to the Languages department
You will have four Spanish lessons a fortnight in Year 7. Topics studied in your first year will include, how to introduce yourself and give basic information; how to describe yourself, your family and your pets; how to talk about things you like and don't like at school and during your free-time. We also focus on what life is like in Spanish-speaking countries, including the many fascinating festivals, music and food.

We look forward to getting to know you all in September!
¡Hasta luego!
