Students will also learn about definite articles, interrogative and exclamatory pronouns, cardinal numerals, and fundamental grammar rules, creating a solid foundation in the language.
The course content also includes a section dedicated to nationality and origin, with the use of adjectives, pluralization rules and ordinal numbers, which allows for a broad and easy immersion in the Spanish language.
Certification and continuation of studies
Students who complete the course within the deadline will be entitled to a free certificate, issued by IFRS itself.

Good evening. I would like to take an English course.
I choose English because it is more essential as it is the universal language.
Good morning,
I would like to study Spanish because I already have basic knowledge and I ride a motorcycle in the border region.
Amazing
One of my dreams is to learn English
