Why learn Spanish?
There are lots of great reasons to learn a second language. The learning process is a fantastic workout for the brain, classes are sociable and fun, and you will get so much more out of any time you spend in Spain or South America when you can speak the lingo. Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and it’s also one of the easiest to learn. Bilingual Brits are notoriously few and far between, but YOU can be one of them! The challenge of learning Spanish is one to be relished and the personal achievement of being able to actually understand and speak a second language is one to be very proud of.

How good will my Spanish be by the end of the course?
By the end of the first term you will be able to understand and speak Spanish using present, future and past tenses. This is an impressive practical level of Spanish that will vastly improve any time spent in Spain or Latin America. Your fluency will depend on how much work you put into retaining vocabulary. If you complete the full course of 60 hours/topics, you will have learned more tenses and structures and attained a high level of Spanish that will wow locals!
Do I need to get any other learning material?
You should be regularly referring to a Spanish-English dictionary. This can be a book, app or website, whatever you find most comfortable. Apart from this we don’t recommend you use any other learning material as you can easily get bogged down and confused by too many books, apps, videos, mp3s, etc. We will provide you with all you need to learn Spanish.
What do I need to bring to class?
Your teacher will provide you with printed notes in each class and these will contain all the information you need to guide you through the particular topic in class. You can take your own notes, if you wish, but you don’t have to. The only thing that we would recommend you bring to each class is a Spanish-English dictionary app/book.
What size are the groups?
Groups are 12-15 students
How is the coursework presented?
Topics consists of clearly explained written information, pronunciation practice exercises, audio conversation listening exercises, reading comprehension exercises, interactive speaking exercises, and writing exercises. Course information is presented in English, with Spanish examples throughout. More and more Spanish content is introduced as students progress.
Who is my teacher?
All our Spanish teachers are experienced, bilingual professionals. Once you have signed up for your course you will receive your teacher’s email and they will support you for the duration of your course, during and between classes. Your teacher will be ready and waiting for you at the venue at least 15 mins before each class.
Can I ask questions between classes?
Yes, you are very welcome to ask your teacher questions between classes any time by email.
In-person language learning is the best
AI and language learning apps are handy tools, but there is only so far they will take you. If you want to properly learn a language, you will need to practice using it speaking with other people. Our courses provide comprehensive online coursework to help you learn the ins and outs of the language and build your listening, reading and writing skills, but the heart and soul of our courses is our in-person classes. Classes are great fun and the perfect way to put study into practice.
