This is an unusual group.  Its origin lies with a group of people, many beginners, who decided to learn Spanish from scratch in 2022.  No teacher was available, so they met as if they were a class and studied Duolingo Spanish online.  They are now the core of this group.  As the teacher who joined more recently, I am extremely impressed by the dedication behind this story.

The group now covers a wide range of abilities, from early to late intermediate (A2 to B2 on the CEFR scale), which is explained here.

Our group is fun and supportive, but serious in its learning.  It includes conversation, reading, translation, and essential grammar, and always includes some audio from a native speaker.  We meet in my home. 

A small administrative charge of £2 per person per session is paid in arrears at the end of each term to cover the costs of photocopying and refreshments.  We recently received a grant from the Petersfield U3A branch to subsidise the cost of the Spanish-language materials we use.  

At the time of writing (October 2026), we have one vacancy.  If you are interested, we invite you to attend up to three times to decide if it’s for you.
