Answers:
Can I use your podcasts and worksheets with my students/at my school?
Yes, of course you can! In fact many teachers around the world use our podcasts in their classes, or suggest to their students that they listen to the podcasts or watch our videos in their spare time. Many teachers also use and adapt our worksheets, and find these an invaluable resource in class - you can check out some sample worksheets here.
Are the podcasts suitable for all age groups?
Yes, we have been very careful to ensure that the podcasts are suitable for all age groups.
Can Schools and Colleges pay by Check / Bank Transfer?
We are able to accept payment by cheque or bank transfer in Euros from Schools, Colleges, and Universities. There is a minimum purchase of 100 Euros for any transaction not carried out via PayPal. Please contact us listing the products you require in order that we can provide you with a proper invoice for your school, college or university.
Topics that relate to the Spanish AS and A Level curriculum, and other exams.
As many of our podcast topics match those in the exam specifications, many teachers following the UK-based Spanish A-Level and AS-Level Curriculum have found that our podcasts provide useful extra resource material for their classes, or to encourage independent student study. The nature of both the podcasts and the topics/themes means that some podcasts fall into more than one category (this list is based on the AQA A-level specification. Broadly similar topic areas are reflected in other exam board specifications, so the categorisations should still be useful to all teachers):
