What other students are saying
Great classes, enthusiastic, friendly and interesting tutors. I have really enjoyed and learned from all the sessions I have been to.
Susan Nimmo
Classes are fun and stress free. Good for those keen to dip in or for the more serious learner. Teachers are very easy going and make it culturally interesting and a lot of fun. The students are all really friendly and we help each other out. Definitely recommend.
Amanda Phillips
A fun class with great resources. Taught well.
Helen Phillips
These classes are great. Excellent and engaging teachers and you learn at a comfortable pace. Highly recommend!
Helen Findlay
I wholeheartedly recommend learning Spanish with Marchando. I had always thought that it would be a difficult language to learn but their technique had me understanding the basics and confidently constructing conversational sentences in no time at all – and the course is lots of fun! Thank you guys!
Elizabeth Rae
If anyone is thinking about signing up I would definitely recommend you do! I’ve recently started classes and am really enjoying it, lots of fun whilst you learn.
Caroline Walker
Really enjoying the classes and finally learning a bit of Spanish rather than procrastinating about it.
Ruth Finlay
I’ve been enjoying this first term and feel I’m beginning to get a much better basic grounding in the language, which is what I was hoping for, plus it’s fun.
Mark Carter
The classes are good fun, and well prepared. The website back up is clear, thorough and both supportive and challenging!
Clare Hill
I haven’t learned a language for many decades and I was quite nervous to start but I am very glad I have. I couldn’t recommend Marchando Spanish more highly.
Linda Kirby
Really positive and fun learning environment!
Hannah Crawford
I am really enjoying the course and find it really useful. I am not going to pretend it is easy but I am looking forward to continuing next year!
Elle Cee
I have just completed the first course. Excellent teacher who puts us all at ease and makes the classes fun by using games, quizzes and props. If like me, languages do not come easily, this is the class for you because of the informality, the pace and the support provided.
Robert Swift
Very helpful and approachable tutor, with each week learning new verbs and vocabulary. Although the lessons can be challenging, they are always fun and our efforts are encouraged.
Catriona & John Gibson
Before joining Marchando Spanish classes I used Duolingo. Since starting the first Marchando Spanish course I believe I have progressed by leaps & bounds. I am now looking forward to the next course. Thank you for all your support & help.
Stuart Muir
I sincerely recommend Spanish classes run by Marchando Spanish. They are informative and fun, well-structured and relaxed, rich in new material – vocabulary, grammar, new constructs – and at the same time relaxed and unpressurised. In every session we have games, jokes and a lot of laughter, making Spanish classes one of the highlights of my week. The groups are small and the participants are supportive of one another. You learn easily and progress steadily. Five stars!
Magdalena Thomson
I highly recommend Marchando Spanish. I am surprised at the speed we have learned things, so much so I can now feel much more confident in communicating when in Spain. It has been so nice to make new friends and acquaintances in our weekly meetings. For anyone who’s serious about learning Spanish, or even just for fun, there‘s no better way to learn.
Mark Taylor
I would like to thank Laura. My understanding of the Spanish language has increased greatly. Excellent teacher and the best way to learn Spanish.
Harry Lloyd
I have been attending Spanish classes for nearly a year and they have far exceeded my expectations. The classes are friendly, fun, engaging and well structured and I have been really pleased with my progress learning the language. A highlight of my week!
Emily Cropton
I have made good progress with the course and really like the method of teaching. It makes learning the language much more enjoyable.
Ivan Morrow
The different subjects and grammar have been introduced in a very smooth and interesting way. Always with good sense of humour and clear pronunciation.
Magne Lystad
The course has been great so far, really engaging and making learning Spanish fun and inclusive. The course is taught at a really good pace and has allowed me to gain more and more confidence each week.
Rachael Steven
Classes are taught in a very relaxed and fun manner with plenty of opportunity to practice conversation. The course is also supported by their online coursework (narrated by Spanish speaker) which provide extensive practice each week in the form of grammar, pronunciation, additional vocabulary, listening and reading skills. A great way to be introduced to the Spanish language.
Lynda McLaren
Adam makes the classes fun and that makes a big difference when you are returning to learning as an adult. The weekly lesson sheets include recaps on the previous class; invaluable should you have to miss one. If you want to learn Spanish then I recommend you sign up. I’ve just done so for term 3.
Allison Lock
I had been thinking of trying a new language for a while and Spain has always been a favourite destination of mine so thought I’d combine the two. The course is perfect, its fun friendly engaging and despite my initial trepidation I can actually converse in Spanish now.. I’ve had 2 trips to Spain since I started the course and they have been a great success. If you are interested give it a go, Adam is a wonderful teacher and you won’t regret it.
Andy Lanigan
My wife Stephanie and I have been learning Spanish with Marchando Spanish for six months now, and the experience has been fantastic. The content is excellent and feels incredibly structured; unlike apps like Duolingo, there is a clear, systematic theory behind the way you learn, which makes the concepts actually stick. Beyond the curriculum, the class environment is a huge highlight. It has brought together people from all different backgrounds, making it a genuinely fun and social way to learn a language. Adam is a personable instructor who clearly cares about making the learning process enjoyable for everyone. We would highly recommend Marchando to anyone thinking of taking up a new hobby, wishing to gain some respect from locals during their travels, or simply looking to have fun. It’s a great opportunity!
Cameron Taylor
Thank you for the last 10 weeks of Spanish lessons, they have been a tremendous boost to my endeavors to learn the wonderful Spanish language. Adam has been a great teacher, giving great direction and support.
Colin Burgess
After a year studying with Marchando Spanish I am now sufficiently confident and able to read and converse in Spanish (albeit my vocabulary needs expanding but that’s a me problem!) The classes are fun, informal and relaxed, and a camaraderie has developed with both teacher and students that encourages contributions, with no one afraid to make a mistake. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to learn the language.
Ben Coburn
I am really enjoying the Spanish course in Kelso. It is so good to be able to learn Spanish in person locally. I have maybe learnt more in 9 weeks than in a year of Duolingo. The format, level and content is perfect.
Keith Knight
Really enjoying my classes. Adam provides plenty of material and is very encouraging. Would definitely recommend.
Jennifer Welsh
Adam’s Spanish classes are very well run, they are fun and relaxed but we are all progressing well in our ability to speak and understand the various grammar tenses . Learning material is available so you can practice before the class. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to start learning Spanish.
Richard Turton
Really enjoying this class, I’m a complete and utter beginner and it’s been a long time since I’ve even attempted another language, the classes are relaxed, friendly, no pressure if it’s taking a bit of time to pick things up and the mixture of class participation, audio and written information all works well together.
Kirsty Walker
My husband Kevin attends Adams class and really enjoying them. Lessons are well structured and fun.
Fiona Holmes
I joined as a complete beginner last August, I am pleased with my progress and the conversation meetings are fun and a must to build confidence, you can learn Spanish online but it’s not the same as speaking to a real person. Adam & Carles are good teachers, they’re welcoming and make the lessons fun.
Janet Houten
Classes are welcoming, friendly and relaxed!
An excellent, very well structured course which I can highly recommend.
Kirsty McIntosh
I highly recommend these classes. There is online learning material to practice at your leisure and weekly-meet-ups with fellow students and the tutor. The course is excellent value for money. muchas gracias Adam & Laura 🇪🇸
Hilary Fenton
Adam and Laura are great tutors in Spanish. They provide a relaxed and really friendly way to learn a new language. I would recommend that everyone should try this to get a flavour of the Spanish language. it really is addictive and really helps when visiting a Spanish speaking country.
Kenneth Scott
Just finishing beginner 1, its been great, done duolingo for over a year and finding this far better and fun.
Marc Dradge
The course has been great, offering lots of opportunity to have conversations, with Adam on hand for any questions. The group has become more relaxed as the weeks have progressed, and we’ve had some fun games and lots of laughs. So much more interactive than duolingo, would absolutely recommend.😀
Sue Barclay
The learning so far has been a ‘blast’. Adam is great and so patient with us. I’d highly recommend learning with Laura and Adam. It gets you out of your comfort zone and really challenges you. I need to put a bit more time in at home when I can, but already looking forward to the next block of lessons.
Grant Buchanan
Started last September and although the “old grey matter” ain’t what it used to be, Adam has the patience of a saint….thank goodness!
Very relaxed environment to learn and make mistakes with no pressure.
Great group of people in the group. Lots of laughs and every week there is a mention of ‘ardillas’!😂
You will not regret trying something new , no matter what age you are.
Quickest hour of the week!
Long may Adam’s patience continue and I pray my memory holds up.
😎😎😎
Awdri Doyle
Loving my Spanish classes with Adam. Great fun and learning way more than with Duolingo although it is still good for picking up words. Giving me more confidence to speak and I feel I have more understanding when I hear locals speak when I am in Spain. Will be starting third term course after the summer holidays.
Jacqui Mann Wilson
Loved my recent Spanish classes .
Working with a nice group and teacher Lucia was very helpful and was always easy to talk to if you weren’t sure about something.
Andy McManus
I highly recommend these classes! So enjoyable to have Adam and Laura gently lead you through the basics and then onto greater learning. I went from knowing no Spanish to confidence in just a few terms and enjoy speaking and understanding when I’m in Spain – as I am now! 😍
Adrian Sherman
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience with Adam, relaxed but informative & the setting in a class where most are at a similar level really works. I knew a few Spanish words but like most, I couldn’t put sentences together to have a bit of a conversation when on holiday in Spain. I now feel I’m heading where I could make myself understood & more so understand the Spanish. So much so I’m signing up for the next course. Gracias Adam y Laura
Stevie Brown
I highly recommend Marchando Spanish for learning Spanish. As a beginner, I’ve been amazed by my progress in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. I look forward to each class and am excited to book the next course!👍🙂
Ann Montague
Ari was a great tutor and very patient. It was a really nice group and feel I will benefit for my upcoming trip to Mexico with the Spanish I learned 🇲🇽 gracias
Stewart Thomson
A well structured but flexible approach means that this class caters for the needs of the students. Moving at a pace which suits us means being challenged but not bored. The focus is all on talking and listening which was exactly what I was looking for rather than a more academic, writing based course. The classes run by both Adam and Laura are organised to give learners confidence and create a comfortable atmosphere in which everyone is able to contribute. The online teaching materials are well prepared and easy to understand and form the structure for each class whilst the classes are relaxed and fun without the pressure that can make learning a language too stressful.
Jacqueline Easton
Really enjoying the classes. I am a complete beginner but find the atmosphere feels very relaxed and safe to practice my poor Spanish! Would recommend them to anyone looking to be able to make themselves understood in Spain.
Jacqui Morrison
Thoroughly enjoying the class. It’s my first time learning Spanish and the class is fun, friendly and builds up phrases and vocabulary week on week. All the info for each class arrives by email well ahead of time so that there is plenty of opportunity to practise beforehand so that you are never going into a class cold or feeling as if you’re being put on the spot. Adam is an excellent facilitator and is very supportive and encouraging. Would definitely recommend.
Deborah Armstrong
Adam provides a great atmosphere for learning making it both fun and informal but also great teaching. Looking forward to a trip to Spain to try it all out !
Derilyn Turton
Really friendly and fun classes. Adam is a great teacher. I already feel like I have learned so much.
Gillian Bradburn
Hola! I love my Tuesday Spanish class – I have been promising myself for years that I would learn – this class is fun, friendly and not a bit like being at school! (Oh yes – and you learn a lot too!)
Valerie Wood
Really enjoying a friendly informal class and learning lots
Sue Semple
We have Adam as our Spanish teacher he is wonderful he puts you at ease and explains it well.
Lovely McConnells
