SPANISH CLUB reviews
Here are some of the nice things students have said about Spanish Club.
“When I started my Spanish studies, my ambition was to speak in conversation. Spanish with Victoria is my opportunity to do it (despite my mistakes!). See you next Sunday!”
“I loved learning a bit about Chile and Peru… I’m looking forward to hearing presentations from other students next month.”
“It is quite difficult to find language classes beyond beginners so the services Victoria provides are perfect for anyone wanting to move on in their Spanish language journey. Highly recommended.”
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My methodology is based on engaging, real life topics which encourage students to speak and express themselves.
Kindness, care, acceptance and respect are essential, as the student’s comfortability will allow them to feel safe and relaxed to speak.
Communicative approach is the main aim, as I understand a language as a means of communication, connection, link with another culture, and not as a perfect tool to be used. Obviously, perfection will be happening as we practise and practise regularly and in a determined and enthusiastic way.
My sources for discussions are varied and so the pair work and group activities. Thus we avoid boredom, apathy and monotony. Five clubs in five weeks.
The role of the student is always active. Students get the instructions clearly in time before spending an hour talking, discussing and commenting topics.
Students have access to feedback constantly.
Sense of humour is crucial to learn. Our brain relaxes, opens up and absorbs naturally the language. Moreover, it brings an atmosphere of trust and peacefulness.
We are a small and unique school where you can be sure to get individual attention. There are many, much bigger, and probably cheaper schools than ours, but I think you’ll find it hard to find better value or a more personable and friendly club. There’s only one teacher here and that’s me!
I offer a free 15 minute video intro session for everyone joining SPANISH CLUB at Level 2 and above, so nobody is anonymous to me. I will welcome you individually and answer your questions. You can tell me your learning priorities and I can signpost you to relevant existing material in the Club, and guide your individual learning.
When you take the ¡YA HABLO ESPAÑOL! course you’ll have an individual 15 minute video session with me every week so I can understand your specific needs and expectations, both in terms of the language and in terms of motivation. It takes motivation and commitment to complete the course and I want to be able to help you with that.
Although you pay each calendar month, you are actually paying for blocks of four weeks. There are 13 blocks of 4 weeks in a year, and you are paying for 12 of them. So, four weeks in August are a holiday for us all; hopefully a Spanish-speaking one!
You can join at any time. You only need to choose the right level of the six I offer and subscribe with the Paypal link. Then I’ll contact you to explain what happens next.
Please let me know your concerns as soon as possible. We have got clear, firm rules in Spanish with Victoria and the person who does not follow them will leave the community. Respect and no judgement is essential for all people to feel part of the group. Thank you!
You’re very welcome to join us! I will contact you straight away to let you know how it all works and add you to the Facebook Group, and when the next group session is that you have signed up for, and what we will be discussing.
We will watch films and read books and texts related to the Hispanic world: its culture, society, politics, events, etc. You will have a minimum two weeks to watch the film or read the text prior to the group sessions. All films will be available to watch cheaply online, or free if you have subscriptions to streaming services. All books will be cheaply available or free to download to your device.
Please do not miss a session for this reason! There is so much to learn from the others in the club! And you will always have something to say, as we will be dealing with quite common topics.
Only one simply thing: being willing, determined and enthusiastic to improve your Spanish!
All of them aim at making your speaking skill better by sharing knowledge about the Hispanic world and expressing our views about this. It is an enriching experience in many ways!
However, whether one club is more interesting than another for you will mainly depend on your own interests and needs. So feel free to taste them and then decide which one/s you are participating in.
Whenever it is convenient to you. You can cancel at any time. Please cancel your monthly Paypal subscription. And no need for explanation or justification, but we always welcome feedback. We like people coming freely and enthusiastically and leaving in the same way.
If you know in advance that you will not be able to attend all the groups you have signed up for, you will be able to cancel through Paypal and re-subscribe at a different level before the beginning of your month. It won’t be possible to change after the beginning of the month.
