Listening to news from Spanish-speaking countries

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 17.91 £ /h

As listeners, every day we receive acoustic sensations through our ears, which we match with the phonemes of our language. These phonemes are grouped into syllables and these syllables, in turn, into words. Words are often put together in groups or phrases that, at a higher stage, are combined with each other through grammatical structures and intonation. Consequently, it is the listener who has to transform the input received into language units. To do this, it must group all the acoustic signals it receives through the linguistic knowledge it has. The above is a complex, dynamic and challenging process, as long as listening comprehension is carried out by people whose native language is not the same as the audiovisuals they observe and listen to. It even becomes more complex when the audiovisuals address real news, as is the case of those used in the subject Listening to News in Spanish, which is part of the study plan for Spanish-speaking Sino students. The subject plays an essential role within the curriculum because it allows students to have a more global vision of the Spanish language, in different situations and contexts. To the above we can add that through the news, students will be able to listen to different accents of Spanish and have a more comprehensive idea of the variants of the Spanish language (20 in total). This course, aimed at students moving from level B1 to B2, will also allow them to expand their lexical register and exercise their phonic ear. Consequently, the audiovisuals as a whole will have: anecdotes; radio and television advertisements; weather bulletins; speeches and conferences; interviews (academic, medical, journalistic and labor), informative news broadcast on television or radio; films and theatrical broadcasts. Jokes may also be included; public debates and discussions; radio and television documentaries; song lyrics; as proposed by the Cervantes Institute (2006).

The Spanish economy: history, context and current events

17.91 £ /h

"(...) the apprehension of the cultural soul of what is Spanish will never be complete if the economic dimension is not included in the analysis of the other elements that outline this cultural universe." (Felices Lago, 2000, s/p).
Spain's economy is the fourth largest in the EU and the fourteenth worldwide in nominal terms. In relative terms or purchasing power parity, it is also among the largest in the world. According to a report by The Economist in 2005, Spain was the 10th country in the world with the highest quality of life. As in the economy of all European countries, the tertiary sector or service sector is the one that has the greatest weight.
In 2014 GDP grew again, at 1.4%. The number of unemployed peaked at 5.77 million in February 2014 and decreased the rest of the year by 446,000 people. In 2015, the Spanish economy consolidated the recovery process that began in 2013, with real GDP registering an expansionary trajectory. For the year as a whole, GDP grew 3.2%, above the GDP of the euro zone (2%). Spain is a gateway to Spanish-speaking countries, since it is the only Spanish-speaking country in the European Union and enjoys good relations with other countries.
The importance of Spanish makes it key to international relations and that is why business Spanish is increasingly in demand. Speaking Spanish and knowing your culture, Spanish and/or Hispanic, opens the doors to many markets and job opportunities.
Twenty years in the business world in leading sectors for international companies such as Grupo Mondragón, Mercedes Benz, Siemens, Talgo, etc. make me a person with field experience. I know this world and I can provide you with knowledge, not only of the language but of everything necessary to achieve effective and successful communication.
In this sense, the subject Spanish Economy offers an overview of the characteristics, history, most important moments and international relevance of the Spanish economy and its relationship with Spanish for business. Students who receive this course will be able to have a real approach to the Spanish economic context while increasing their lexical register.

Latin American cultural panorama: in Spanish L/E.

17.91 £ /h

Conversational Spanish is a very important part of the learning as it is the natural way to learn it. My classes are designed to help students to learn in a natural way by choosing a topic and dealing with that topic from all angles: grammar, speaking, listening and translating. That helps students to gradually absorb what they are studying. I usually conduct a relaxing lesson where students feel they can improve and learn at their own pace.
Even if you are an absolute beginner you will be able to speak some Spanish by the end of the first lesson.

A brief note: Since lessons are online, it is best to use a lapto/computer rather than a phone to enjoy the full experience.

Hello!

I love teaching Spanish and helping people feel comfortable speaking the language. My classes focus mainly on conversation, because I believe that the best way to learn is by practising naturally and without pressure.
My priority is for my students to gain confidence and lose their fear of speaking. I create a relaxed space where making mistakes is part of the process and where each person can progress at their own pace.

If you need something more specific, I can also help you with:
- Grammar
- Exam preparation
- Spanish for work
- Pronunciation
- Themed conversations based on your interests

Classes are personalised and tailored to your goals 😊

Both speaking classes and those not specifically focused on oral expression are individual, personalized, and planned according to each student's interests and goals. Speaking classes focus on fluency, pronunciation, and confidence in real-life situations, while other classes address academic or professional needs, such as exam preparation, debates, or presentations. In both cases, the focus is on supporting your progress with relevant content tailored to your personal goals.

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Johanne :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸

Hi I'm a college student, I have advanced knowledge in subjects like, algebra, calculous, math in general, physics, and some statistics. Also, I'm a native Spanish speaker, so I can also help you with grammar, pronunciation. My main goal is to help you understand the topics that you struggle with, because in my experience, sometimes what you need is a different approach of how things are done rather than it being too difficult.
