What we do

This is a new group starting on 19th September 2007.
The aim is to improve our conversational skills; we will be talking about what we've done during the previous week and future plans, items from the news, hobbies, holidays - anything that interests you. The group would suit those with reasonable knowledge of the language, e.g. ability to use the past, present and future tenses / GCSE standard / 3 years of classes.
If the majority of the group are interested, we could use a text book for extra practice, to extend our grammatical knowledge and to stimulate discussion.

Reports

March 2008
Our group continues to prosper, and thanks to the humour and the inventiveness of our members, the meetings are always interesting and amusing; the highlight so far, I think, was when we told stories of the mistakes we had made in Italy and the misunderstandings we had managed to create.
We start again at 10am on Wednesday 9 April and continue until 21 May, as several of us will be off to Italy in June, before the heat waves set in (we hope).

November 2007
The group has got off to an excellent start with up to 18 members attending. We've had an interesting variety of anecdotes, accounts of holidays and observations on daily and family life.
We start again after Christmas on 9 January (10am) at the Castle Street Centre.
