There’s nothing more useful than being able to speak the local lingo, this programme will teach you all of the basics you’ll need. Classes run for 4 hours a day, Monday to Friday, either from 08:30-12:30am or from 13:00-17:00pm, whichever suits you best! You’ll be working in small classes of four or less and you can choose which area of language you’d like to emphasise; conversation, comprehension or writing.
Designed to be fun, varied and interactive the classes will get you off and out into the city practising your new skills on group trips to museums, the local market or just for a wander around the neighbourhood. Our coordinators will be happy to arrange tours and activities for the group and there will also be lots of cultural activities that you can opt to join in with too!
