November 8, 201510 yr Can anyone recommend the best/quickest way of doing this? I'm new to learning Spanish but want to up my game doing it
November 8, 201510 yr Women who lives across the road from me has classes in her house..... Think she teaches at Bolton college too.
November 8, 201510 yr Chilean? Nah, she's quite friendly. I went to a spanish class, an advanced one at the college, try before you buy, liked it, said "where do I sign up and pay my £500?" "your £500?" They said "well, it's up to you how you pay, but if you pay all three terms up front at once you get a discount" - it was £500 a term, £1500 for the year, or about £35 a session if you broke it down... I'll get some CDs.
November 8, 201510 yr Yes I think that's her.....Margarita I think her name is, would be interesting how much she charges at her house, bet its a lot cheaper.
November 8, 201510 yr I have to admit, in my brief experience she seemed good, learned a few things in just one session... I reckon' one-on-one it's probably £30-£40 an hour though... My progress has reached a grinding halt as, strangely, I've started occasionally mixing with spanish speaking folk, and I'm so shite at conversational spanish, I don't bother, and have become really disheartened. I might take up Italian instead. Edited November 8, 201510 yr by Youri McAnespie
November 8, 201510 yr And we speak the first language of the globe Unless you've fallen for a spanish floosy?
November 8, 201510 yr Author I want to get a holiday home or eventually move over, the company I work for is due to merge with its Spanish counterpart early next year. Seems a good time to do it.
November 8, 201510 yr To be fair I thought her work with the Happy Mondays was pretty good Edited November 8, 201510 yr by jules_darby
November 8, 201510 yr Can anyone recommend the best/quickest way of doing this? I'm new to learning Spanish but want to up my game doing it Google Instituto Cervantes Manchester if you want to look into lessons rather than doing it yourself.
November 8, 201510 yr To be fair I thought her work with the Happy Mondays was pretty good she's a Munich too.
November 8, 201510 yr Author Google Instituto Cervantes Manchester if you want to look into lessons rather than doing it yourself.Nice one, will do.
November 8, 201510 yr Book a holiday in a non touristy place to practice. I learned more spanish in 2 weeks in Ezceray and Logrõno in northern Spain than 5 yrs at school.
November 8, 201510 yr If you do that, don't do it in deepest Andalucia. Somewhere they speak Castilian Spanish like where andydee went Edited November 8, 201510 yr by jayjayoghani
November 9, 201510 yr Just make sure you're learning the right language for the area you intend to live. Barcelona and the area speak Catalan, not Spanish.
November 9, 201510 yr Author Just make sure you're learning the right language for the area you intend to live. Barcelona and the area speak Catalan, not Spanish. Not thought that far ahead tbh. Lots of hurdles to overcome, but opportunities are available. Would just like a command of the language first rather than go then learn.
November 9, 201510 yr Similar to what others have said... don't learn South American Spanish if you're intending to use the language in Europe. And you'll learn more by speaking it over there than by doing lessons over here.
November 9, 201510 yr I had a bunch of CDs from my dad. Think they were given away in the Daily Mail or Telegraph. Tried them out myself and was enjoying them during morning and evening commute to work. But never carried on and can't remember anything I learned. However, at the time, I also scoured the net and there's plenty of freebie stuff out there before you start spending with Rosetta Stone. http://www.notesinspanish.com (no longer free, but was originally, sure I downloaded quite a few podcasts) http://www.fluentin3months.com/free-podcasts/ Edited November 9, 201510 yr by Smiley
