Description

Stories in Spanish to Improve Your Grammar: Its purpose is to improve the student's skills to use and identify the verbs "Ser" and "Estar" in Spanish, using fun and engaging stories. We will achieve this by putting grammar away and get to practice right away by listening to stories using these two verbs in Spanish.

At the beginning of the course, you will find a brief introduction to what native speakers have in mind when they use the verbs "Ser" y "Estar" in their daily speaking. However, you will not find rules to use these two verbs in this course because we will focus on practicing these grammar points using short stories.

This course focuses on high beginners and intermediate students of Spanish who are looking to improve the way they use grammar during their spontaneous conversations. You will not get fluent in Spanish with this course, but you will definitely improve the way you use "Ser" y "Estar" in your speaking skills.

Stories in Spanish to Improve Your Grammar: Ser y Estar uses a teaching technique called TPRS, which aims to improve listening and speaking skills in Spanish, and to record vocabulary in the student's mind for the long run. This is not intended as a DELE course, nor it is for complete beginners.

From the very beginning of the course, the student will experience a Spanish immersion (the course is completely in Spanish: videos, lectures and audio lessons).
