Languages

We offer a range of languages to study at beginner, intermediate and/or advanced level:

  • Dutch
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Italian Language & Culture 
  • Japanese
  • Mandarin Chinese
  • Russian
  • Spanish (also available a a GCSE & AS level)

Courses in each of the beginner/intermediate/advanced language subjects begin in September lasting for 35 weeks and this is usually the best time to enrol if you are new to a language. This allows you to develop and progress in your chosen language for a full year. It may be possible to join one of these courses part way through depending upon previous experience. You pay on a termly basis (3 times per year).

GCSE/AS language courses begin in September only and you enrol for the whole course which lasts for 30 weeks with examinations during May/June - please ensure you have not booked holidays already during these months as examination dates cannot be changed - if you enrol on a language GCSE/AS level course you are expected to complete the whole course and take all the examinations!

We cater for absolute beginners (no previous knowledge necessary) and also for those who wish to build on existing skills. The courses cover a range of topics and everyday situations, including meeting people, travelling, booking accommodation, food and drink, shopping as well as talking about yourself, your job and family.

A great way to prepare for your holiday or business trip.
