Spanish
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. We offer a wide variety of non examined classes during the day and evening, taught by experienced and friendly tutors. Whether you are looking to learn the basics for a holiday, or improve your conversational Spanish, we should have a class that will help! All classes cover the four language skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing, with a strong focus on speaking and listening.
Semester 1 classes start in September and are normally scheduled to run for 20 weeks. Semester 2 begins immediately after Semester 1 and run through the Autumn term. In order to progress to the next level, you must attend Semester 1 and 2.
Please note that if enrolments for a course are low, classes might be reduced in length/duration to avoid cancellation of the course.
