In this free Spanish video lesson we will see more about how to organise texts and presentations in Spanish with advanced level Spanish phrases and writing structures such as Desde mi punto de vista… (From my point of view…) and Por un lado … aunque por otro… (On one hand… although on the other hand…). We will concentrate on Spanish phrases to present your point of view and the views of others, to contrast ideas and to conclude. This continues the theme from the previous Spanish lesson which looked more at writing in Spanish to a high level with Spanish phrases to present the main subject of your text or presentation, to introduce different points, and to add or list different points. We have already looked a little at the basics of writing in Spanish earlier in the course with various Spanish video lessons highlighting key phrases and structures used when writing a letter in Spanish. I recommend that you review those lessons sometime as well and practice as much as possible using all of the new Spanish phrases and structures you have collected. It might be a good idea to prepare a short presentation in Spanish on a topic that you have a particular interest and to try to write it as well as you possibly can with lots of different, high level grammar structures, vocabulary and phrases.
