Learn Spanish in a virtual world

Learn Spanish in a virtual world

Beginners 1 Spanish Course


Starting Saturday May 9th


A 10 week general Spanish course will give you the confidence to speak Spanish and use it in a Spanish speaking country.
With one 2-hour weekly class lesson and optional practice time with your course teacher in our virtual Spanish City you will be speaking Spanish quicker than you thought possible.


Focusing on all four skill vital areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing your Spanish will improve rapidly.


Learning to speak Spanish in real situations like restaurants, cafes, hotels and the bank will bring your learning to life, from the comfort of your home.


We provide a fun 3-D learning environment: Course classes, simulations in real situations and a website based exercises.


Check out our website for some example videos and more information

First web-based entry

Well, here I am trying Posterous after having my account for several months. I just found out we can send messages online, and that´s what I wanted :-) 

Am I controller? Maybe yes. I prefer to upload my own stuff instead of sending emails and wait to see how they look.

Let me try a couple of things:

  1. Adding a link: The English for Architecture and Urban Planning course wiki I am currently delivering
  2. Adding color to font Color my world!

Problems:

  • I get an error message on the page, so I cannot get the information from a link that reads: More post editing options
  • When I click on the HTML option, I cannot go back to the rich editor.

I wonder if this is happening to others.

I am going to try adding an image using html code. It did not work :-(
