Many of the OIR members go on holiday to Spain or the Spanish islands
and feel they get a lot more enjoyment from their holiday if they are able to speak some
of the language. Some do the classes just to keep their minds that little bit sharper.
They are 'fun' classes with no exams or tests. Members go at their own pace and put as
much, or little, into it as they wish. Tapes and videos are used, and dictionaries and
simple textbooks are required.
The classes for 2008-09 (Oct - March) are as
follows:-
Beginners Spanish…This is for absolute beginners where members are
taught the basic rules of pronunciation and grammar, and by the end of the session should
be able to carry on simple conversations in Spanish.
Please contact Nan Lees at 673099
Intermediate Spanish…This is a
continuation of the Basic course and is designed for members who have done the Basic
course or who have already done some Spanish either in school or elsewhere and maybe feel
a bit 'rusty' or not quite confident enough to join the Conversational Spanish class.
Please contact Bobby Lees at 673099
Conversational Spanish…In this
class we aim to carry out everyday (not too advanced) conversation in Spanish. Members are
encouraged to prepare pieces of dialogue for presentation to the class and emphasis is
placed on listening and speaking. Some members from this group have gone on to more
advanced study at the local college in Greenock.
