020 7242 3436 Level 8 was considerably harder for me than level 7, and I feel like I’ve struggled. Although it’s been challenging though, I’ve liked that more of the lesson is conducted in Spanish than in previous levels. Vicky encourages a lot of conversation at the start of each class, which has really helped me to develop my speaking skills so although it’s become a lot more difficult, it’s also become more rewarding. These classes continue to be the highlight of my week 🙂
The Libro de Actividades is a brilliant resource, and Kahoot is a fun and engaging way for us to assess our comprehension as we progress. I always read the notes on the Vamos platform after class, so the more detailed those notes are, the better for me. I also always check out any recommendations for sites/series/books when offered. I frequently read articles on practicaespanol.com, do activities on profedeele.es and spanishdict.com, and I listen to Los40 and the ‘Notes in Spanish’ podcast.
It may not seem like it (!) but I do a lot of work outside of class as this doesn’t come naturally to me – so I like it when we’re given ideas for extra resources, and ideas to make learning fun.
I absolutely love this school, and will be continuing my language journey with Vamos into L9 and beyond. As soon as travel gets back to normal as well, I’d love to go back to the Vamos school in Valencia for a B1 revision course with Jordi!
