Language taster courses

Our taster course programme begins in January and consists of 10-week courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Aimed at beginners and near-beginners, these courses are a great way of learning a new language. With 2 hours of group teaching per week, and no assessments, the taster courses offer lots of language practice in small groups (all classes have a maximum number of 16 students) and aim to take students to a level of competence in both spoken and written communication.

Courses are open to everyone over the age of 18.

  • Period: 7 January 2013 - 22 March 2013
  • Fee: £125 per course (no concessions)
  • Group size: maximum of 16
  • Language levels: The taster courses are aimed at absolute beginners (Level 1) with some languages offering courses for near-beginners (Level 2).
  • Textbooks: You will need to purchase the set textbook for the course. Your tutor will advise at the first class.
  • Booking: You can book a place for one of the courses here. Bookings will close on Friday 11 January 2013.
