Spanish - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
What we call our Brilliant Beginners – learners who already have some experience of the language, but need to improve their use of the present tense before expanding their vocabulary.
This course is based around “de Vacaciones” – holidays and you will learn lots of useful vocabulary to help you to talk about the kind of holiday you want to go on, how to book holiday accommodation, buy a train ticket, talk about the weather, and what to do if you lose something or if you hurt yourself. We will also extend our knowledge of forming regular and irregular present tense verbs, reflexive verbs and adjective agreements.
Each week there will be a short dialogue to practice the class vocabulary and help you to become more confident when speaking Spanish.

Hi! I’m Helen thanks for being interested in Spanish classes with Language for Fun on the Isle of Wight! I have a degree in International Development and Spanish language which I studied for later in life as a “mature” student. I truly believe in lifelong learning and the old adage that you’re never too late to start learning something new. I’d always been fascinated in languages and had a slight regret that I’d never developed my schoolgirl French so when I had the opportunity to learn Spanish as a beginner at university when I was 40 years old, not only did I take it, but I loved it! I ended up spending 4 years living and working in Spain and qualifying as an MFL Teacher. Learning Spanish literally changed my life! I started teaching Spanish locally to adults online during Covid, and now, I teach in-person classes on the Island. I can’t wait to help you start, or continue your own Spanish language journey. My classes are very informal, fun and relaxed, and focusing on conversation, you’ll soon build your knowledge and confidence alongside supportive and friendly like-minded people. Come along and see for yourself!
