Part-time courses for adults

Learn a language this summer

This summer we will be running face-to-face language conversation classes.  The short but intensive sessions will take place over one or two weeks in June or July and will be led by an expert native-speaking tutor in a welcoming and encouraging classroom.

To celebrate, we are launching a competition where you can win a free course.  To enter you need to complete a very short survey.

There will be a range of courses on offer from absolute beginners to advanced in French, Italian and Spanish. All you need is an interest in a language and the enthusiasm to learn it with others.
