Afternoon Option Details

Descriptions of Our Afternoon Options

English Out There ^TM 6 Hours

The best way to learn a language is by talking to real people. Our English Out There ^TM lessons combine the classroom with getting 'out there' in Swansea, using online social media for a learning experience that is interactive, fun, and uniquely effective.

In each module you will be exposed to a small amount of grammar and vocabulary, introduced by topic. You practise the language in the classroom first, then go out into Swansea with your teacher to use your new skills.   At times we may use online social media if it is not possible to go into Swansea for practical reasons.

Practicing your English as soon as you learn it means you will remember it much better. By gaining a true understanding of how the language really works, you are sure to be able to use it again effortlessly.

English Out There ^TM is suitable for all levels from Beginner (A1 CEFR) upwards.
