Spanish - Improver
This course is ideal for:
those who have already learned a few tenses and who will appreciate a bit more practise in them before moving on to a couple more towards the end of the unit.
The tenses my current learners have already done are:
In this module, learners will get more opportunities to practise these tenses in new situational contexts and with new vocabulary and expressions before adding more description and context to their past narratives by adding in a third past tense called the imperfect.
If you did very well at GCSE or O Level at school or have done adult classes elsewhere, haven’t forgotten too much and want to take your Spanish further but without going back too many steps, then this course is for YOU!

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!
