What we do

Amalfi beach

Amalfi

Our 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

I hope our members have been out collecting new material – in Italy? – for our future conversations. If you can express yourself in the past, present and future tenses, would you like to join us? If so, please contact me, by email if possible.

We’ve had a few new arrivals this year, which has widened our scope and added new areas of interest – my thanks to everyone for their contributions and for keeping the group going when I have been unavailable.

An influx of new members this year has kept things lively and interesting: my grateful thanks to the group for keeping us entertained with accounts of holidays, items from the news, amusing anecdotes and descriptions of their hobbies and interests. Thanks also to those members who have kept the group running during my occasional absences. Meetings re-start after Christmas on Wednesday January 6, 10am at the Castle Street Centre, and run through to April 28.
