Course Overview



This course has been designed with those grappling with the demands of studying both French and Spanish simultaneously at school in mind. It will investigate the similarities and differences between the two languages and develop students' confidence as they practice switching between the two regularly. By the end of the course, students will have realised that learning two different languages from the same language family (in this case, Romance) is actually far easier than it may seem at first, and they will no longer be intimidated by the prospect of having French and Spanish lessons or exams back to back!
