Advanced Learners with͚ skills equivalent to “A” level who can comfortably use the past, future and conditional tenses. You will widen your vocabulary, increase your fluency and practise all tenses!
We will continue to use a text book “Grammaire en Dialogues” to guide our discussions, getting used to hearing short pieces of French spoken at native speed! We enjoy going “off piste” too and love to talk about any subject under the sun – as long as we try to do it French! We also follow a “Book Club” format to alternate with “Grammaire en Dialogues” – Book TBA – to spark a different kind of discussion.
If you visit France a lot or have a home there, we look forward to hearing about your experiences!
This course will be tutored by Emily and held on Zoom. You will need to purchase your own copy of the text book and of Grammaire en Dialogues B2-C1 by Claire Miquel.
My love for languages began in an after-school club when I was just a child—and it’s never left me. Since then, I’ve immersed myself in French, Spanish, and Italian, each one shaping the way I see the world and connect with others. Whether it was playing with local children in French villages, dancing in summer festivals, or chatting with friends on Spanish climbing trips, I’ve always been drawn to the joy of genuine cultural exchange.
Learning Spanish opened new doors for me at secondary school, and I quickly realised that one language was never going to be enough. I’ve taken every opportunity to explore new languages and cultures—from Russian taster courses to a Japanese exchange programme—but Spanish, in particular, has become a part of my life. I’ve climbed in the Spanish mountains, laughed with Spanish friends over tapas, and admired the country's relaxed, holistic approach to wellbeing and community.
I bring that same spirit into my teaching. For me, learning a language isn’t just about memorising vocabulary—it’s about creating a calm, supportive space where you can build confidence, connect with others, and discover the joy of communication. Whether you’re learning for travel, to integrate into Spanish-speaking communities, or simply to do something enriching for yourself, I’ll be here to guide you with empathy, patience, and a few laughs along the way.
Spanish is a language of warmth, culture, and celebration—and I’d love to help you discover it in a way that fits into your life. Come join me and see where your Spanish journey could take you.
