Summarised from 4 students on StudentVIP (2017–2021)
- A clear step up from Spanish 1, with many more conjugations to learn, but still well organised with supportive tutors.
- The oral exam is harder than before (a talk about an interview you did, then questions), so study for it; online tasks are easy marks.
