Quote Icon This course is ideal for:

This course is suitable for people who can handle simple situations, have basic conversations about themselves, and find out information from others.  You may have already learned the past or future tenses but this course is an opportunity to consolidate some of the trickier aspects of Spanish that you might have come across, including some confusing verbs in the present tense, por and para, and ser and estar. By the end of the course you will be able to:

  • talk about ordering ice creams, buying things in the market
  • talk about what you look like, your personality using ser
  • talk about how you’re feeling and where you are using estar
  • Talk about the difference between ser and estar, por and para, qué and cuál, ir and venir, este and ese.
  • use the present tense with confidence and use the irregular present tense verbs such as stem-changing verbs confidently.

Please note, this course is part A of Spanish Beginner Refresher and will cover chapters 1-5 in the workbook. Part B (weeks 6-10) will follow in April 2027.

          About Rosemary
    

      

        
Bonjour! and ¡Hola! I’m Rosemary and I am a qualified modern languages teacher with over 30 years’ experience of teaching both French and Spanish.

My love of the French language began as a teenager on family camping holidays and school exchange visits to France and I subsequently studied both French and Spanish at A Level. I then completed my degree in European Studies with French, which included a year spent teaching English in the small town of Lisieux in Normandy.  Spanish is a beautiful language to speak and I have spent many family holidays in Spain recent years.

I am a firm believer in lifelong learning and in my free time I am trying to learn Italian, so I know how daunting it can be to start something new. In my Language for Fun lessons, the emphasis really is on ‘fun’ and I am confident that you will love conversing with other like-minded learners in a relaxed and sociable environment. Communicating is more important than getting it right….and there’s no compulsory homework either! I am passionate about sharing my love of all things French and Spanish with others, so whether you are looking to start a new hobby or brush up on your long-forgotten school languages, I would love to meet you.

Please don’t hesitate to get touch with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

À bientôt and hasta luego !

            Fun lessons          

          

            As one ages it is essential to keep stimulating the brain, so I thought when the flyer came through the door for local French conversation classes here was an opportunity to relight a spark from the past and revive my dwindling knowledge of French, especially conversation. Rosemary has provided a gentle and encouraging ambiance to do this and has sparked a new interest and courage to try in a controlled way of speaking happily and understandably in French. Well done, Rosemary; many, many thanks for being patient and non-judgemental during fun lessons. You have encouraged me to continue stimulating the little grey cells!

            Highly recommend          

          

            I have been thoroughly enjoying my French lessons with Rosemary. Her teaching style is engaging and supportive, making each session both fun and educational. She has a knack for breaking down complex concepts into manageable pieces, ensuring I always feel confident and motivated. Rosemary's enthusiasm for the language is contagious, and her personalised approach caters perfectly to my learning pace and interests. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French!

            Making real progress!          

          

            I cannot recommend Rosemary enough. 
The Language for Fun is structured but flexible and although I have been trying to engage in conversation with French people for many years I can already tell the difference in my confidence. Rosemary has clarified so many anomalies for me about issues around French grammar and the correct way to phrase things - which is of course very important to them! It was very satisfying during a visit to France earlier in June to be able to converse in French with a local French person without them speaking back to me in English! 
Thank you, Rosemary. I feel that at last I am making real progress!

            Fun French!          

          

            For many years I have loved everything about France and the French language which I find beautiful. Although the English can speak it with strange accents I still continue to try!
I have tried several teaching methods and can honestly say finding Rosemary has been the best ! She is fun, patient, easy to understand and speaks the language beautifully herself . I look forward to going ahead to the next level .
Thank you Rosemary !
