Do you know how to ask for egg and chips on the continent? Or are you one of those embarrassing Brits abroad who just shouts louder to make yourself understood in the beach cafe? We Brits have earned a terrible reputation for learning languages and deservedly so. But with the holiday season well underway and a Brighton language school offering a free course in Spanish, French, Italian and German exclusively to Insight City News readers, there's no time like the present to redeem ourselves.
Originally established in Brighton's North Laine in 1998, Cactus is now an award-winning brand and one of the world's leading providers of language travel abroad and language training in the UK. The company now offers language courses in over 25 languages in some 45 countries and 150 destinations, worldwide.
From mid-July the school will be offering 10-week group Spanish, French, Italian and German language courses in central Brighton.
All classes are taught by native speakers and are restricted to only 12 students so you can be sure you'll get all the attention you need from the teacher. So if you have been meaning to start learning a language and were looking for a cost-effective and academically sound language class - here it is!
Courses will take place in St Giles College Brighton, located right in the heart of the city, next to the Royal Pavilion every Wednesday, starting from 19 July from 7-9pm. The price is £129 (£124 if booked online and £115 concessions) including coursebook and levels include Beginner, Elementary, Lower Intermediate and Intermediate.
If you are an upper intermediate or advanced speaker of French or Spanish, why not try our new conversation classes held on Brighton beach? It's the perfect way to keep up your language skills in a relaxed but inspiring environment.
