A Course in Spanish for beginners has been arranged and is to be held in the Cultural Centre, Hondón de los Frailes between the 16th September and the 15th of October. Classes will be held between 10.30 and 13.30 on every day, Monday to Thursday for the duration of the course. The course will be taught in English and Spanish and will emphasise oral Spanish language skills with only the minimum of necessary grammar.It is acknowledged that you might not be able to attend every session, but weekly classes are just not effective as there is too long a gap between learning sessions. So you will get two classes in the first week, a long weekend to practice and then four classes a week to build your knowledge and practice. As long as you don’t miss too many sessions you should be OK if you work at it.
To be eligible to attend this free course you must be resident in Hondón de los Frailes, have an NIE, be registered on the Village Padrón, and pre-register for the course next week. Registration will take place between 11.00 and 13.00 in the ground floor room of the Ayuntamiento on Wednesday and Thursday 9th and 10th September, yes, next week! If you can’t get there then Sue will also take registrations in the Community Shop on Friday the 11th. But, first come, first served and don’t forget to take your NIE with you to registration, we can check the Padrón later!
For the course to go ahead we need a minimum of 20 people and the maximum number is about 30. Once all the places have been filled we will keep a waiting list in case of no shows.
