  Having being with Hablemos for 5 years, they provide amazing support towards your education tailored to your needs as especially coming from a student's perspective, Hablemos has helped me through my GCSE course starting from the basics to regular review sessions which provide the chance to consolidate understanding. Wish I had found Francisco sooner! Highly recommend Hablemos. :)

  Amazing! I honestly could not recommend Hablemos enough! Fantastic teaching, not only of the language but of the culture and society as well. I have had individual classes with Fran for the past year alongside studying A level Spanish at my school. His lessons were a huge help and I really noticed the difference in my confidence when speaking the language and at school against my peers. The teaching at Hablemos is effective and often based on practise questions and exercises which meant I could pick up other skills from each lesson such as cultural context and general knowledge of the Hispanic World. Over the year I have seen my passion for the language grow and I am very grateful for the time I got to spend learning at Hablemos.

  From the first telephone call requesting information to attending the course it was everything I expected and more. The lessons have been exactly what I expected being paced at a level which has made me think about my learning. I expected to be taken back to my school days, whilst some of this has to be expected I have experienced respect and dignity from Francisco and his colleagues. I thoroughly recommend Hablemo to everyone thinking of learning another language. Start your search at Hablemo you won't go far wrong.

  I am writing this in English to make it easier to understand for somebody wishing to speak or take up serious Spanish. Just after this language center for Spanish opened in 2006 I had lessons once a week and whilst I may not follow the grammar required for examination which Fran is very good and hot on, I followed his courses and now when I go to Argentina I never stop speaking. Fran was born in Panama which makes him an Ideal teacher with the right accent for South American or main land Spanish. My recommendations cannot go far enough if you want to correspond, speak or otherwise in Spanish then Hablemos is for you. Les bradley

  I have been learning Spanish at Hablemos for several years. The teacher is a native Spanish speaker and also knows lots about the culture of various Latin American countries. The class size is small so we all have time to practise speaking. It is a relaxed atmosphere so i don't feel self conscious about using the wrong words or pronunciation. We discuss many different topics in Spanish from art, music and history to climate change, rather than just the holiday subjects (booking accommodation or ordering food) which you find on most Spanish courses.

  I would highly recommend Hablemos. The teacher is from Panama and has also spent many years teaching and working in Spain, so has in depth knowledge of both Latin American Spanish and Castilian. Lots of cultural, geographical knowledge of both Latin America & Spain. Also a chef, so culinary knowledge of cultures too. - means very interesting conversational topics on which to try out your Spanish! Follows a programme from books at appropriate level, but this is supplemented with a wide range of other resources. Confidence in speaking is strongly encouraged, no matter the level in a non-intimidating setting, so you feel at ease to have a go. Regular homework set, so you can work at home between classes.

  I have been learning Spanish as an adult for over a year and a half. I enjoy the lessons immensely, as does everyone in my group, and think I am making good progress, despite having only limited time to study, away from lessons. The teaching is excellent: appropriately and skilfully matched to the group of learners. The mix of reading, speaking, listening and reading means lessons are always interesting and I like the way grammar is taught in context. I have also enjoyed learning about the culture of Spanish-speaking countries. The ethos of the school is very supportive and I love the teacher's enthusiasm, patience and sense of humour.

  My experience of Hablemos has always been very positive, in recent years I have joined very useful conversation groups with other Spanish speakers, and our daughter has enjoyed Spanish for beginners courses. Small group sizes, teachers friendly and knowledgeable, and good teaching materials.

  I have been at the school since the age of 5, and it has been an enjoyable experience. The teaching is very good and I have learnt a lot here, so glad to have stayed doing Spanish from primary school level, up to GCSEs. I'm hoping to take Spanish for the IB, where I'll receive top quality teaching from Fran. Hablemos is a great school for children and adults of all ages. I would have not gone anywhere else.
