About the course
This is a full year course and is ideal for beginners or those wishing to re-learn a language from scratch. At the end of the course you will be able to: introduce yourself and give and understand personal information; confidently order food and drinks; count up to 100, purchase items from markets and shops; book a hotel room or holiday accommodation; use the present tense to talk about your hobbies and daily activities; give and follow directions and ask basic questions. Most of all you will have fun working with an experienced and enthusiastic tutor, who knows you may discover you have a linguistic talent and you may wish to continue your learning journey with Adult Learning. Flexible learning hours of 60 - 90 hours
How the course will be delivered
Some classes are delivered face to face in a classroom environment. Classes are also delivered online, this means you can learn from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere you can connect to the internet. Adult Learning uses Zoom to deliver blended learning. Your Tutor sends an invitation to join the class each week which ensures that you learn in a safe and supportive environment. We will review our delivery methods throughout the year so we can respond to learner preferences.
What you'll need to bring
You will need a pen and note book for all classes, a bi-lingual dictionary would also be very useful. If you are part of a blended learning class then you will need a stable and reliable internet connection and a device that allows you to connect to this, such as a laptop or tablet ( smart mobile phones are not suitable). It is recommended that you have a quiet area of your home to work from so you get the best learning experience. The tutor will advise you if there is anything specific that you need to join our languages classes.
Entry requirements
There are no entry requirements for this course, just a willingness to be involved and enthusiastic. This is also ideal for learners progressing from our short Introductory language classes.
