University of the Third Age, Chester

Spanish: We are a group of six members (5 female and 1 male) who have been learning Spanish for several years. We decide on a topic and each prepares a piece for the following week, which then leads to open discussion. We are also using Hugo Advanced Spanish (book and CDs) as a further challenge. We would welcome new members who feel that they would enjoy contributing and learning within the group. We meet on Thursdays from 10:00 to 12 noon

Spanish for Beginners: Mondays 10:00 - 12:00. Hopefully this group will help people travelling in Spanish speaking countries to introduce themselves and their families, find the way, shop, order drinks and food, book into a hotel and use public transport.

French Intermediate: The group usually prepare news, discuss current affairs, newspaper articles, films and books. At present we are using The Ultimate French Review and Practice. This is a fully comprehensive manual, published in the USA. It covers every aspect of French grammar and structure. We work our way through successive chapters and use the exercises as a further means of extending our vocabulary and improving our overall language skills. The group meets every Monday (am).

Further French: Members enjoy conversation about a variety of interests and topical news items from the French press. A reasonable grounding in the French language is required in order to be comfortable with this approach. The group meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month from 10:00am to 12 noon.
