You could try Exeter College. I do German A-level and my lecturer does evening classes there.

I'm doing a Spanish class in the evening now. It's the second of two steps to GCSE Spanish, which I hope to do next year.

Anyone else do evening classes? I enjoy doing them as it's nice to be learning something that isn't work related.

I was disappointed to see that the classes offered by Exeter College in the evenings have been scaled back a lot since I last did one 2 or 3 years ago. A lot of the History and the like classes are gone. That made me sad. I also heard that one of the few remaining History courses - Medieval History A-Level - was just chopped as they only had 9 people doing it, when it needed 10 to be 'viable'.

What, you mean that he's still only learning the language as well.

I fear for you - does not bode well ;)

When I was at school, I had a teacher whose main subject was Economics but taught Mathematics as well. After being taken to task by the whole class for getting a basic trigonometry question wrong, he said "I was told in teaching that as long as you're one lesson ahead of your pupils, you're doing OK."

Things have suddenly become a lot more clear as far as you are concerned.



You could, of course, follow this idiots' lead.

Yeah I just started learning Spanish last week for a bit of fun. It's quite bizarre getting taught a foreign language in a foreign language though (in my case getting taught Spanish in German). I might end up doing a GCSE or equivalent certificate in it.
