If you love your holidays in Spain and its islands, but have never got further than hola, adiós and una cerveza por favor, now’s the time to learn to speak Spanish from scratch in this fun-loving and friendly group. The Absolute Beginners Spanish group meets each Wednesday. Contact Michael Garrett on 07494 806167.
