Hi to Everyone

Thanks

I would contact Luke: 684359470. He is excellent. He comes to your home and teaches you how to communicate in a way that is enjoyable, practical and fun. Thoroughly recommendable, and he can also help with all your interpreting and translation.

You're welcome, Helen. Take him shopping with you, he's brilliant at teaching you how to bargain in Spanish. Doesn't work in the supermarkets though :-)

There is somebody advertising spanish lessons on the Urb, they are a couple of doors up away from Barclays estate agents.

Thank you for that information.

As others have stated, Duolingo is great and the app is repetitive so the learning does actually begin to sink in !

If you want something a little more structured, I use an education website which is totally free of charge. The website is www.edx.org and a quick search brought these Spanish courses back - https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=spanish

It is FREE to sign up and FREE to go through the training. You can pay to have your qualifications certified if you need to, lots of information about it on the website.

Hope it helps and buena suerte!
