  • A Tasty Burger

    Level: B1-B2 - Intermediate / Upper Intermediate

    Burger. Mountain. Series. Idea. Nature. Pyjamas. These words are a pronunciation nightmare for Spanish speakers.

    This lesson plan, based on a clip from Pulp Fiction, will help your students not only understand why they make mistakes with these words but also learn how to correct them through controlled pronunciation practice and engaging speaking questions.

  • "I have 25 years"

    Level: A2-B1 - Elementary / Pre-Intermediate

    This is probably the error that you’ll spend more time correcting than any other, so we’ve put together a whole lesson plan to nip it in the bud.

    With controlled grammar tasks, 3 speaking activities and a final quiz, your students will have no excuse to make this mistake again!

  • A Fancy Neighbourhood

    Level: B1-B2 - Intermediate/Upper Intermediate

    We´ve based this lesson plan on a video of Julianne Moore talking about living in Madrid and her obsession with El Corte Inglés.

    It starts with some listening and vocabulary tasks based around the video, then goes on to cover some essential vocabulary for describing your neighbourhood - with plenty of opportunities for speaking along the way!

  • No More Putting Off Phrasal Verbs

    Level: B2-C1 - Upper Intermediate / Advanced

    Cancelar, cancel. Posponer, postpone. Eliminar, eliminate. Compensar, compensate.

    It’s so easy to translate some verbs directly from Spanish to English, we have to really push our students to even consider using phrasal verbs.

    In this lesson, your students will learn just 10 of them. But, they’ll really learn them, inside and out, so they’ll feel ready to really start using them.
