Spanish for Holidays & Leisure

Do you have a holiday or business trip planned in Spain or South America and want to communicate more effectively with the locals? Maybe you are planning to move to Spain. VLS can help you brush up existing conversational skills or if you are a complete beginner, we can teach you some basic phrases to give you confidence in any situation.

 

After just a few lessons you will be able to ask for directions, order food and drinks, take a taxi, ask for help, go shopping or buy tickets. Lessons are practical using real life scenarios and dialogues with emphasis on achieving fluency in conversation as well as an understanding of how the language works. There is no classroom pressure and we only move on when you feel ready to do so.

 

GCSE, A-level, Degree Level Spanish Coaching

Are you starting to worry about approaching Spanish exams? VLS provides excellent revision lessons for GCSE, AS, A-level or degree level exams. By concentrating on improving specific areas of weakness, whether it is speaking, writing, reading or listening, you will face your exams with confidence and achieve the grade you are aiming for. We work closely with syllabuses and use recent past exam papers. Even if you need a little extra conversation practice before the oral exam, please get in touch.

 

Early Learning Spanish

It is never too early to start learning Spanish. Research has shown that the best age to start learning Spanish is between 3 and 6 years old. It is amazing how quickly children this age absorb Spanish, almost like a sponge! Lessons are fun and enjoyable, using flashcards, games, music, art and stories, so that children learn Spanish without even realising it!

Help your child reach their potential by giving them the opportunity to learn a second language early on when language learning is much easier. Also available on CD or delivered electronically are popular fairy tales read sentence by sentence in English and Spanish with printed text available for parents to read along to with their child. This is a fun way of learning everyday vocabulary in Spanish.

Tutors have enhanced CRB certificates.
