This first course is for students who have NO experience with Spanish. Our classes are focused on speaking so you will be speaking Spanish from the start. We like to provide a fun and relaxed environment where students are able to have fun and introduce themselves to the culture. We have a max. of 10 students – min of 5 students per course. The enrolment is fixed on the dates and times outlined here.

If you have taken classes before this course is likely to be the course for you. Please do tell us so we can have a chat about the options for you.
Using an App such as Duolinguo may not mean you are ready to skip this course. We have more information about this in FAQs. If you still have doubts about your level, contact us with a summary of what you can do in Spanish.

This is an introductory A1 according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages. You will need the book Aula Internacional 1 PLUS. Extra material (i.e. extra photocopies – not book copies) will be supplied by your teacher.
Games and real-life role-plays are a must in our classes and students really enjoy them; it does make a difference to learn and practice the language just as it is in real life! This course is more than just learning vocabulary, at the end of the course you will have an understanding of how to make phrases and sentences to interact in simple interactions on very familiar topics. This level would be the foundation in which you build up your Spanish language learning.

Teachers are qualified language instructors with experience.
