Spanish evening course in Brighton: Cactus staff experience

My Cactus colleagues who speak several languages fluently inspired me to learn another language, and due to my personal preferences I decided to learn Spanish. I was very excited after booking my first course and was thrilled at the thought of being able to speak another language.

Now, I have already completed 3 Spanish evening courses in Brighton and I’m looking forward to joining another course in October. My teachers at every level were very friendly and helpful, and the classes were fun and engaging – we played many games which were always a hit with the class.

As I progressed to higher levels, my vocabulary improved and I started feeling more comfortable with the language, but I should admit that I haven’t been very good at doing homework and practising outside the classroom. Even though just attending the classes has helped, it isn’t enough if you want to get most out of your course, which I realised just after completing two courses.

I think it’s important to explore the kind of learning you would personally prefer outside of class and follow it. I don’t really like just reading course books, so I wanted to do something different to just reading and writing in my free time.

I love movies so I watched two Spanish movies during my last course – Regresar and Apariencias, which are both South American movies. Watching these movies has been entertaining as well as a learning experience. I am also thinking about registering with Blockbuster as as they have several Spanish (and other world cinema) movies for rent. I also like online games, so I searched for websites which offer free online games and found Digital Dialects, which is a good website with lots of games to practise vocabulary and verbs.

I am sure if you identify what works best for you, learning a language would be more rewarding and enjoyable than you think.

Do you agree with me? Please post your comments and share your experiences.

Cactus runs Spanish evening courses in Brighton and other cities across the UK. Courses are also available in the US and Canada.

Those wishing to practise their newfound language skills abroad can take a Spanish course in locations across Spain and Latin America. Learning a language in the country where it’s spoken is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the language and culture.
