We have now created groups in four languages; French, German, Spanish and Italian.

There are a few spaces in established groups:

• French – four groups. Beginners Plus (1 space), Intermediate (2 spaces) and two Advanced. Works with a tutor so there is a cost of £8 per session.

• German – one conversation group.

• Spanish conversation. two groups. One Advanced Conversation group and one Beginners/ Intermediate group which is tutor-led.

• Italian : an Advanced Conversation group which meets with members of u3a Fleet. A tutor has been found and arrangements are being made to start a Beginners/Intermediate group in January.
