About the Course

Learn Spanish the way readers have always picked up languages: through a story worth finishing. This course pairs every sentence of E. M. Forster's A Room with a View with its Spanish translation and a word-by-word glossary, then checks your progress with quizzes as you read.

What you'll learn:

  • Hundreds of everyday and literary Spanish words, met in context.
  • How English sentences map onto natural Spanish sentences.
  • Reading longer Spanish prose with confidence.
  • Spotting key words inside authentic Spanish sentences.
  • Following a full classic, from the Pension Bertolini to Windy Corner and back.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner-to-intermediate learners of Spanish who want real reading practice.
  • Readers who love classic literature and want to learn while they read.
  • Teachers looking for a structured bilingual reading course.

Before you start:

  • You should be comfortable reading English. No prior Spanish is required, though some basics help.

How it works:

  • 20 chapters, each sentence in English, then Spanish, then a numbered glossary.
  • 13 quizzes (one about every 2 chapters), 5 questions each, 3 attempts, best score counts.
  • A 20-question final exam with 2 attempts and randomised question order.
  • Pass mark 70%, honours at 85%.
  • A certificate of completion when you pass.
