The course
Talk about festivals and traditions in Spanish
Explore the festivals and traditions of the Spanish-speaking world in this six-lesson Year-9 module — and learn the key GCSE grammar of the module: the imperfect tense. You will discover famous Hispanic festivals, say how you celebrate special days, and use the imperfect (cuando era pequeño…, antes celebrábamos) to describe how you used to celebrate. You will narrate an unforgettable festival by combining the imperfect and the preterite, talk about traditional festival food, and finish by presenting your favourite festival. Every lesson blends auto-marked interactive practice (including a tap-to-build Sentence Builder) with native-quality Spanish audio, and comes with a ready-to-teach projector deck and printable worksheets.
