Spanish for Everyday Communication and Cultural Immersion
About this course
Learning a language opens the door to a culture: how people greet each other, share meals, celebrate and organise their day. This Erasmus+ KA1 course is for teachers, trainers, and administrative, technical and support staff who want to communicate in Spanish in daily situations and understand the culture behind the language. No previous Spanish is needed.
Over five days, you will learn essential vocabulary, pronunciation and key sentence structures through role-plays, real-life simulations and communicative games. Each session links language to Spanish culture and daily life: greetings, social customs and polite forms of address, food and mealtimes, festivals and traditions, and the Spanish daily schedule. You will practise the situations you’ll meet during your stay, such as shops, restaurants and public transport. You will also learn how to build good relationships with Spanish colleagues and partner schools. Intercultural communication runs through the whole week: you will compare Spanish customs with your own, see how cultural differences affect communication, and explore how to bring this learning into your school or organisation, whatever your role.
By the end of this professional development course, you will have a job-relevant phrasebook, a small intercultural initiative to put into practice at your institution and a realistic plan to keep learning Spanish.
