Speaking Spanish

We have managed to learn a little Spanish like most peopl;e but would like to learn a bit more. Does anyone know of a group who do this without going to the school type Spanish lessons.

We are on the Southern Costa Blanca

Steve and Margaret.

Hi there Steve & Margaret

You'd be better off starting a new thread (or adding to an existing one) in this board Learning Spanish  Yours here will get buried in the General Chat board.

I know, on our large urb with around 35 communities outside Guardamar, owners get together with a teacher on occasions but also have coffee mornings at each others homes solely to speak Spanish, no English is allowed.

Hi Pat

Yes that's a good idea but I don't think that was what Steve & Margaret were wanting. Where we are you also need to know when the Town Hall is about to let you register as the course gets booked up within minutes. I gathered they were after a less formal arrangement, excuse me if I understood it wrongly.

Whilst you are looking for lessons, the BBC website has a very good introductory course on line which I found very useful. Although I live in the UK, this site together with a 10 week crah course got me by whilst on holiday this year. There is also a book they recommend called Talk Spainish (I think) which I found very useful on learning the basics. You may have been looking for something more in-depth but thought you may find this useful.
