Free taster sessions

Would you like to experience what is it like to learn a new language?

We offer free one-hour 'taster sessions and introductory sessions' for our forthcoming courses, giving you the chance to learn a few basic phrases in a new language. Our tutors will also describe the benefits of learning languages.

Like our courses, these sessions are open to everyone, not just staff and students at the University.
