Start speaking Spanish more fluently. Join our class in EnglishIf you already speak some Spanish and would like to learn more, then this is the course for you. It is taught in English, so you do not need to speak any Danish. On this course, you start being able to use the language more fluently and to look closer at the details and nuances of Spanish and Spanish-speaking language and culture.

On the course, you will learn to


  • describe various objects in detail, such as telephones, bags, shoes and lamps. Both in terms of what they look like, what they can be used for, and where they are located in a room

  • describe typical types of housing such as houses and flats in the city as well as exotic kinds of houses

  • talk about the things we have in our homes, such as furniture

  • discuss what you value when shopping and your attitude to consumption

  • describe things that happened to you at specific moments in your life – for example during your school years or in any other important period of your life



We will also review vocabulary and grammar from the beginners’ course. You will feel more confident when you realise how much you already know. You will learn new grammar too, such as how to use past tenses in Spanish. In particular, we will focus on the second past tense: pretérito indefinido.

We will cover Spanish-speaking culture by talking about four brave women and a young athlete who have all made a difference to society through their work. You will also learn more about the great Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda and the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.
Further more we will talk about shopping habits in different countries around the world and among different Spanish-speaking people, and what we have in common with them.

More fluent and interesting conversations in Spanish
As always at Studieskolen, our focus is on you speaking the language. We speak Spanish whenever possible, and now that you are at pre-intermediate level, you can already say a lot in Spanish.
When you have conversations in small groups, you will probably be pleasantly surprised at how good you have become at speaking Spanish. You may find that your conversations feel less like being in a classroom, and more like talking to a friend at a café.

Carmen Benito Peláez

Carmen kommer fra Valencia, der er Spaniens tredjestørste by og en populær destination blandt danskerne. Hun er filolog og underviser i spansk og engelsk.
Hun har en bachelor i English Studies fra Universitat de València og University of Warwick, hvor hun lærte om forskellige aspekter relateret til kultur, historie, litteratur og undervisning i det engelske sprog. Senere afsluttede hun sin kandidatuddannelse, der gav hende kompetencer til at undervise i engelsk som fremmedsprog på Valencia Catholic University. Senere tog hun en kandidatgrad i spansk som fremmedsprog på Valencia International University.
Takket være disse kandidatgrader har hun specialiseret sig inden for undervisning i fremmedsprog, og hun har god viden om både forskellige sprogtilegnelsesmetodikker og nøgleaspekter inden for fremmedsprogsundervisning.
Mens Carmen studerede, indgik hun i lærerteams i både Spanien og Danmark, herunder som underviser i spansk på Frederiksberg Gymnasium. Derudover har hun de sidste par år arbejdet som privatlærer for et væld af elever i forskellige aldre.

Carmen fortæller om sin undervisningsmetode:
”Jeg går ind for undervisning, hvor målsproget er drivkraften i de fleste timer. Jeg fremmer dermed samtaletimer, debatter og større kontakt mellem kursisterne. Desuden anser jeg det for afgørende, at eleverne udforsker kritisk og reflekterende tænkning, samtidig med at de udvikler sproglige færdigheder og lærer om kulturelle og interessante aspekter af sproget.”

Carmen anbefaler:

Litteratur: "El Día de los Santos Inocentes af Miguel Delibes er en indtagende bog, der skildrer det landlige Spanien i efterkrigstiden.
Patria af Fernando Aramburu fortæller om en families oplevelser i den periode, der er kendt som "Años Pomo" – en periode præget af tilstedeværelsen af en meget populær og frygtet terrorgruppe i Spanien.
Cien Años de Soledad af Gabriel García Márquez er en fiktiv roman, der handler om en familie, der gentager de samme fejl generation efter generation."
Gastronomi: "I Valencia anbefaler jeg restauranten ”La Alegría de la Huerta”, hvor man kan prøve de forskellige risretter fra Valencia. "Paella Valenciana" er selvfølgelig den mest populære.
I København ligger ”Pastor Tacos”, en meget hyggelig mexicansk restaurant, hvor du kan få byens bedste tacos."
Steder at besøge: "I Spanien er Madrid og Barcelona to nøglebyer på grund af det store antal museer, monumenter og haver. Men der er også andre byer som Valencia, Sevilla, Granada og San Sebastián, hvor du kan se den store kontrast mellem den nordlige og sydlige del af landet. Disse byer er et godt udgangspunkt for at udforske kulturen og de store naturrigdomme på Den Iberiske Halvø."
Læringstip: ”Som sproglærer anbefaler jeg, at du øver sproget hver dag på den ene eller anden måde, eksempelvis ved at se simple serier med undertekster på målsproget, lytte til podcasts, der er tydelige at forstå, samt lytte til musik, mens du læser sangens tekst.
Jeg anbefaler også, at du læser mindst én artikel eller nyhed på målsproget. Læringsprocessen kan være langsom og besværlig, men ... Motivationen bør aldrig gå tabt!”
