The Centro Cultural Hispano Maltés is organising winter courses in Spanish for beginners.

Courses are for adults and are held in the evening for beginners (first year), Sec ‘O’ Level (second and third year), as well as Matsec ‘A’ Level Class, Spanish conversation, culture and literature Spanish for tourist guides, and post-advanced level Spanish.

Teachers are fully qualified graduates with experience in this field. Students are encouraged to make use of the library. Lessons are available every day, from Monday to Friday. The student, however, attends only once a week, on the day of choice.

Time of lessons is from 5.45 to 7.45 p.m. Morning courses are also available. Prices vary depending on the course chosen. Years 1, 2 and 3 courses cost €190 for a full scholastic year, inclusive of tuition, membership and books.

The Friday Night Club offers activities, such as Spanish cinema, documentaries, lectures and discussions every Friday evening for free.

Classes start from tomorrow, but there are still some places left. For more information, call 2123 0815 or 2141 6669, e-mail the director of studies on chiarafelice@onvol.net or visit www.spanishmaltesecentre.org.
