This advanced Spanish book group is suitable if you like reading and love the Spanish language. If the answer is yes, join this group. Over six monthly meetings read and discuss different novels. This gives you the opportunity to practise Spanish and discuss the work in a relaxed atmosphere. After a brief introductory talk, there are discussions in small groups and the class as a whole. You will have the necessary skills if you are able to read novels and communicate well in Spanish and have completed 'Spanish 4' or equivalent.

This Daytime Programme class will temporarily be delivered online (via Zoom). Please note that class sessions will extend in duration from 1.5 to 2 hours in duration from January 2022.
