I'm using a combination of Michel Thomas CDs, the BBC website and my girlfriend who speaks fluent Spanish

Have found Michel Thomas to be most useful

I have tried lessons at the institute of Cervantes in London and after a short break enrolled for private lessons at the Spanish language centre in Marbella and i took private lessons back in London which involved meeting up with a spanish senorita and having cafe con leche once a week.

I am told that the best way to learn is to get a Spanish girlfriend, so it looks like you are well on the way.I have failed in this task as my wife is Australian and speaks only the basic greetings etc and what she hears me say.

 

I go to spanish classes in La Cabana..in Nueva andalucia twice a week.  I am learning quite a lot but there is such alot of grammer to take in..i just wish I could learn it like a child. !! The good thing is the course is inexpensive...95 euros a year which is fantastic compared to some private schools .

Hi Debbie

Is your spanish class in La Cabana near the card shop and the supermarket?  How many hours do you do? I would really like to start with conversational spanish, not sure I could cope with all the grammer .Do you have to do homework? The price sounds reasonable though....,

Hi Jenny,

The classes are 1 hour and half on tuesday and thursday....and the classes are held in the arte centro on the same road as the Correos.

We don't have homework on a reular basis , i think because no one does it, but we do have it occasionally.  They do a conversational  class every friday at 1pm.

Hope this helps...if you need any more info, let me know !!

Debbie

 

Hi  Debbie

Sounds good, I will invesigate................................thanks for your help, I will let you know how I get on, its about time I had a go at learning the lingo, Im sure its so beneficial and its got to be the right  thing to do as we are living here.

Take care Jenny.

Hi Debbie

Do they have spanish lessons at all levels? 

 

 

Hi Debbie, I've just moved here this week and I want to emmerse myself in the spanish culture and I definitely want to start as I mean to go on & actually learn Spanish....  please tell me what I need to do to do it the way you've done it....

Hi Annalisa,

If you live in the Nueva andalucia -San Pedro area..you can join the  classes I  go to,it's probably better to come along and see what level you are.

Debbie

Great! 

Will be there next month

I am definitely an absolute beginner......  I live in Aoha so I'd need to come to the same place that you go to....   wher is it and when?? This Thursday I'm going to a bar opening in Benahavis, maybe next Tuesday would be a good start??  where do I need to go to and what time??
