**Build confidence speaking Spanish from day one** This session is part of Spanish with Ed—my personal approach to language learning focused on real-life communication, cultural understanding, and building your confidence. If you’re a complete beginner, or someone who studied Spanish in the past but never felt confident speaking, I designed this class for you. I’ll guide the session step by step in a relaxed, supportive environment, helping you start speaking Spanish from the very beginning. We'll focus on clear explanations and practical activities you can actually use outside the classroom. This is not a language exchange and definitely not a grammar-heavy lecture. It’s about: * building confidence * understanding how Spanish actually works * feeling comfortable expressing yourself **What we’ll focus on** * Essential Spanish for real-life situations * Speaking from the very start (with zero pressure) * Clear explanations in English when needed * Cultural context to help Spanish make sense * Confidence over perfection **Who this is for** * Complete beginners * Learners returning to Spanish after a long break * Anyone who wants a human, confidence-first approach * No previous Spanish required. **Practical details** 📍 **Where:** The Griffin, 31 Boar Lane, Leeds, LS1 5DA (City Centre) *(Bonus: On your way into the class, make sure to stop at the bar, grab a beer, cider, or soft drink, and ask them to put it on the "Spanish class tab" so your first drink is on me!)* 🕕 **When:** Wednesdays, 18:30–19:30 💷 **Cost:** * **£10 per session** (Includes your free drink!) * Pay in person on the day (cash or card) 📝 **Bring:** Curiosity, a notebook, and an openness to meet new people. 👨‍🏫 **Your Mentor:** Me! I'm Eduardo. I'm originally from Costa Rica, and I've spent the last 12+ years mentoring adults to speak Spanish confidently. Spaces are limited to keep the session interactive.
