During this conversational Spanish course we will be focusing on developing your language and grammar skills on the theme of dining and specifically, requests for information regarding allergies and special diets.

Over the six weeks you will learn vocabulary about ordering meals, giving compliments and making complaints, and you will use your new language skills to recommend restaurants and pass on your favourite recipes. We will also discuss special meals and celebrations.

There are lots of reasons that you might choose to learn to speak Spanish, whether it be for travel, employment, leisure, family connections or research. So if you’re heading to a Spanish speaking country on holiday or for business, or have Spanish family and friend connections and want to start to hold simple conversations, this improvers course is for you.

On this course you will learn:

  • how to order a meal and request information regarding special dietary needs (allergies, gluten free, vegetarian, etc.)
  • how to give compliments and how to complain about your meal / service
  • how to recommend and review your favourite place using the present perfect and / or imperfect tense
  • how to put together instructions for your favourite recipe using imperative mood
  • take part in a discussion on eating out vs eating at home
  • take part in a discussion about eating habits and special meals/celebrations in your family / traditions / country
