Spanish - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
those who have done a little Spanish already and who can deal confidently already with simple personal introductions, shopping, ordering food in a restaurant and finding their way around town on foot or by bus/tram/metro.
In this unit, learners will practise how to talk about travelling further afield (on holiday) by car, train and plane and dealing with car problems. They will book accommodation and activities and deal with problems like illness, loss or theft. They will learn how to conjugate a number of useful verbs in the present tense and a couple in the perfect tense. Thwy will also learn how to describe lost/stolen items/people using adjectives.
If this evening course is not quite the right timing for you, please enquire anyway because I can make the start time up to two hours earlier and up to an hour later if this is what people want.

Course Teacher
Since my first of many twinning exchange trips to the Loire Valley in France and to the Ruhr Valley in Germany in my teens, I have always loved foreign languages, cultures and people (and of course the food and drink too). As part of my university studies, I spent eight months in Lorraine on the border with Belgium and Luxembourg, four months in Nordrhein-Westfalen on the border with the Netherlands and four months in the city of Lyon. Having only started learning Spanish as an adult, I have not spent extensive amounts of time in Spain but I have holidayed there as well as in Peru. Before becoming a licencee with Language for Fun, I taught for twelve years in secondary schools, including one in Zambia near the border with French-speaking Congo. I have had many adventures in many Francophone, Germanophone and Hispanophone countries where my language 'skills' have both saved the day AND got me into a bit of hot water! Let me use MY cringeworthy past experiences of making hilarious mistakes save YOU from doing the same.
When I am not teaching or learning languages (I speak some Dutch and Italian now too), I enjoy swimming, reading and walking but I am particularly passionate about the performing arts; I think you will be able to tell this when you meet me! I look forward to meeting YOU!
