Students have different language backgrounds.
Some have never been exposed to Spanish before. Others have studied Spanish, or have lived in Spanish speaking countries. A few speak the language fairly well. Some participants have a fair knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary, but cannot speak or understand a native speaker in normal speech. Others, relatively fluent, never had the opportunity of formal language training, and would like to correct their pronunciation, improve their use of verb tenses and enhance their style.
