Spanish language taster courses available

For those people who missed the September enrolments or are thinking of taking their holidays in Spain this year, Barnsley Council’s adult and family learning service is offering a series of classes to help visitors to get by in the language and get more out of their trip.

On these free three-week taster courses, taught by a very popular native speaker of Spanish, learners will be able to greet people and introduce themselves, ask for drinks and snacks and ask for and understand simple directions.

For anyone who wishes to continue, follow-on courses will be available.

Classes will be held as follows:

Eldon Centre, Eldon Street North, Barnsley, on Tuesday evenings, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, starting on 10 November.

Darfield Library, Church Street, Darfield, on Wednesday afternoons, 1pm to 3pm, starting on 11 November.

Anyone who wishes to enrol should come along to the first or second session and bring a pen, paper and their national insurance number.

For those who already have a little knowledge of Spanish, spaces are available in some of the other classes recently started by adult and family learning: for example, at Age Concern, Queen’s Road in Barnsley on Wednesday evenings, 6.30pm to 8.30pm and Cudworth Centre of Excellence on Thursday mornings, 10am  to 12 noon.

More advanced classes are also available at various venues around the borough.

For further information on the above courses or any other language courses provided by adult and family learning, please contact Keith Brock on 01226 775290, or by email: keithbrock@barnsley.gov.uk
