Spanish at Hoyland Community Centre, Hoyland Road, Hoyland on Thursdays from 9.30am to 11.30am, running from 10 to 24 July.

Italian at Wharncliffe Communal Centre, Gilroyd, Dodworth, on Thursdays, running from 10 to 24 July from 1pm to 3pm.

The British Sign Language classes will run for two weeks on Mondays, 7 and 14 July at the following times and venues: 9.30am to 11.30am at the Acorn Centre, Grimethorpe, and 1pm to 3pm at the Dearne Enterprise Centre, Goldthorpe.
