This face-to-face course will run in Birkdale.
This course is suitable for learners who have some basic skills like counting, greetings and buying items (maybe from Duolingo!). You will build up new vocabulary and learn useful language for getting by around town. By the end of this course you will be able to:
• ask for and give basic directions
• ask what there is in the area
• ask and say what time things open
• find out information about bus times
• order food in a restaurant
• say what you like and don’t like
There are no exams and there is no compulsory homework for this course. We focus on communication, not perfection!
The course will start on Tuesday 14th January 2025 and run for 9 more weeks with a break for half term (18th February). The course costs £165 for 10x 75 min lessons. Please pay a deposit of £50 to reserve your place. I kindly ask that full fees are paid before the first class of the term.
I am passionate about languages and studied French and Spanish at Cambridge University. I am now a qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher at secondary level and have experience of teaching primary level languages all the way up to A level.
I love visiting new places and have spent time travelling around and volunteering in South America. Whenever I go to a new place I always try to have a go at the local language and can often be found clutching my phrase book with a look of polite terror as the person I am talking to replies to my question at top speed! As a result I am able to empathise with learners who feel nervous about speaking in front of others or who have had similar experiences with languages on holiday.
Whether you are starting from scratch, dusting off your high school French and Spanish or perfecting your language skills, Language for Fun classes provide a supportive and relaxed environment to learn and have fun. I hope you will join us!
