Twelve years ago, we were a beginners' group. Now, people can manage in almost all situations in Spanish and enjoy discussing a wide range of subjects.

We're a very mixed group, with 8-10 typically attending. Some are survivors from the first beginners' class. Others have joined on the way with Spanish they've acquired from a whole variety of other sources: education; jobs abroad; homes in Spain; travelling; and family in Spanish-speaking countries. Members are supportive of each other’s differing standards and we have a lot of fun.

We do a mix of things: a conversation on a topic prepared for homework; some grammar, mainly for those who learned other than at school; some games; reading and translating; a sitcom on DVD with subtitles. We include a coffee break.

If you are interested in knowing whether we’d suit you, we encourage you to come to a class and see. After that, there’s no pressure and you decide.
