Spanish courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Spanish to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Spanish, as well as survival Spanish should a short stay in the country be needed.

These Spanish lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Spanish by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Spanish to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Spanish culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Spanish exam.

York
A city in North Yorkshire with a population of around 140,000, York's economy is based mostly on tourism, science and service-based industries - a far cry from its position as a chocolate manufacturer and railway town up until the middle of the 20th century. However, the city is still home to the headquarters of several confectionary brands: Nestlé Rowntree, who create the KitKat, Smarties and eponymous "Yorkie" bar, and up until recently, Terry's chocolate factory. The city also has many historical points of interest: featuring many museums and a veritable plethora of churches and pubs, some of which date back to the medieval period.
