Celebrity culture · Six bitesized lessons

From the ídolos of sport to the kings of streaming, from Hollywood Spaniards to the cost of fame. Six lessons covering who you admire, sports stars, music and film stars, influencers, the price of fame, and what makes a real role model. Each lesson has all eight steps (KS3 refresh → 20 new GCSE words → F+H reading and listening with auto-marked quizzes → two-way translation → photo card → role-play → F+H writing) plus a cultural-read article rooting the topic in real Spanish-speaking culture.
