Our Spanish group meets every Friday morning. The joint group contacts, Stella and Kath, have learnt Spanish over many years and despite not being language teachers they are happy to lead the group by planning activities and work for our weekly sessions.

People have different reasons for wanting to learn Spanish. For some it’s to be more confident with the language when on holiday while for others it’s a hobby (and a good workout for the brain), but ultimately what most people want is to be able to understand, ask questions or have a simple conversation.

Our group members have varying levels of ability so we progress slowly to ensure that everyone is included, always keeping in mind that the idea of a u3a group is to have fun as well as to learn. We’re a very friendly group and all genuinely enjoy helping each other.

If you are new to Spanish or know just a few words, we suggest that you download the DuoLingo App to get some basic knowledge. There are also numerous videos on YouTube for beginners, although not all of them are good. If you are still keen to learn and you can manage a few simple sentences, then we’re happy to help you move on.

April 2026: Our group is currently full but do please get in touch if you are interested and hopefully you can join us before too long
