Real beginners or the truly terrified. This course starts with the basics – a, b, c and 1, 2, 3 – but builds up quickly to short conversations based on your real life.
My parents instilled a love of languages in me. We regularly travelled around Europe and tried to use the appropriate language as much as possible. We met and subsequently stayed with or entertained people from many different countries and cultures.
My first experience of teaching language occurred during my French and Russian degree, when I taught English to French adults for six months. After that, I worked in big business and tourism before changing career to assisting a disadvantaged child in primary school. This led to teaching French with La Jolie Ronde, a programme for children from 2 to 11, which I have been doing for over ten years.
I have been with Language for Fun for five years now and love the interesting conversations and discussions that are sparked by the materials each week. It's been fantastic to help people find more confidence and enjoyment in learning another language.
I have been able to pick up Spanish again with Language for Fun and am now delighted to be able to bring Spanish for Fun to Sowerby Bridge.
