Current Activity

We run at 4 levels, all every Friday morning, which run in different rooms at St Leonard’s Centre, Oakley,  from 9.30 to 12.30.  Each group runs for 90 minutes. Level 1 starts at 9:45; Levels 2 and 3 start at 9:30; the advanced group (Level 4) starts at 11:00. The dates are until Easter and then until the end of the school term.

Level 1  for beginners in the Wootton Room, and are studying “Exito” Book 1 from the Beginning.

Level 2   use “Pasos Book 1” as a text book, starting from about the 6th chapter, meeting in the Malshanger Room.

Level 3, held in theMalshangar Room, continue with the study of “Pasos 2” from the beginning.  We are also trying to extend our conversational skills.

Level 4  We start the class listening to a record of a song and then do a lighthearted grammar or vocabulary exercise. We then read an article in Spanish  and then discuss it

We are very flexible and often rely on our more advanced students to help out with both the lower and higher levels. We are a self-help group who appreciate the teaching and other contributions of native and fluent speakers which are offered from time to time. Any help from Spanish speakers is always welcome! There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in all the groups.
