The aim of this beginner-level class is to provide those with minimal or no knowledge of their chosen language the chance to enhance and gain skills in communicating effectively in that language. The class will be conversational in nature but will also look at basic sentence formation and grammar. This will be achieved by using a variety of situations in which travellers abroad may find themselves. It is suited to those who may be going abroad for business or holidays as well as those who wish to gain the basics in the language for their own personal development. Acquiring foreign language skills is an excellent way to improve career prospects as well as to broaden horizons and become aware of other cultures. The class will be taught in a friendly and welcoming environment designed to maximise the learning experience. This class can lead into the 20-week language classes which commence from October.

Please note there is no class on Friday 17 July as the university is closed for Fair Friday.
