“The teaching method I practice centres around conversational exercises, building good foundations in listening, speaking, reading and writing. I have found through many years of teaching that grammar and vocabulary are fundamental to the learning process. I like to combine visual, audio and interactive activities to make the process of learning fun and more importantly, memorable.” – Marta Smith, Spanish Tutor. 2012 Offers: Spanish for Business- Beginners Course    25 hours for 700 pounds  5 hours per day 9.30-12.00 / 1.15- 3.45pm  Week-end course Spanish for holidaymakers 10 hours 100 pounds 5 Saturdays or 5 Sundays ..........................................................................................................................................
