Designed for absolute, absolute beginners, this course has identified the most basic of Spanish necessary to get started if you're in Spain, either on holiday, living, working, travelling there. In just over an hour the course goes through the simplest and most straightforward way to start speaking Spanish to gain some confidence with the language. The focus is on the tasks which require the fewest Spanish words, where you can get started immediately and feel like you've spoken some Spanish on your first day! I designed and wrote this course after learning lots of Spanish for travel and work purposes and realising it was possible to distill this down to just a few words. The course is just over an hour, but to get the most out of it, you'll need to listen back to  the audio a few times to get you ready for your adventures in Spain!The course is taught in English and is designed for those with no knowledge of Spanish. It's not an academic course and the focus is on a very basic level of conversation in everyday situations and an be used as a foundation for those wishing to do further study or as a simple course for those wanting a few basic words and phrases for a trip or to move to Spain. There´s no grammar to learn and each lesson is kept short to allow you time to focus on what you´ve read and heard.
