This is the course that continues directly after Beginners 1. You can join this class if you are a complete beginner but you will have to upskill a little bit and your tutor will help you with this. The course’s main topic is How to get by in a town, and I personally think that it is very useful for holidays. By the end of this course you will be able to:
-Ask for and give basic directions
-Say what there is with “hay”
-Ask and say what time things open
-Find out information about bus times
-Order food in a restaurant
-Use simple verbs in the present tense such as “I’m looking for”, “he buys”
-Say what you like and dislike
Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!
After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
