Ready to move beyond structured lessons and start using Spanish with greater confidence? This practical, conversation-focused course is designed for learners who already have a foundation in Spanish and want to communicate more naturally in everyday situations.

Susan said: Ana is a great tutor and I enjoyed this class. I prepare in advance so I can participate in the role plays in the break-out rooms and keep up with the pace of the class. The powerpoint slides are very helpful and I always print them out and write notes on them during the class.

Karen said: Great teacher. Organised and understanding. Also really good at identifying what grammar to focus on in a particular context. I couldn’t make all the classes but I really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot.

Susan said: I was only able to do half the course as was overseas (UK) for the remaining five sessions. Ana is a great teacher, and it's well worth preparing for each session in advance to get the most out of each session. I would be happy to do this course again to practice my Spanish communication skills.
