What happens after the course?

Your Spanish doesn’t have to stop when the course ends.

If you start with Beginners, you can move on to Next Steps and then join one of my Spanish Club groups to keep learning, speaking and building on what you know.

Some of my Beccles learners have now been learning together for more than two years.

You don’t need to decide how far you want to go now. Just start with the class that suits you and take it from there.

What adult learners say:

My adult classes are all about helping you feel relaxed, supported and proud of what you're learning. There’s no pressure or stress. Just friendly classes where real conversation comes naturally.

Here’s what some lovely learners have shared:

Tracey L

Sam has made Monday evenings fun and it’s great to learn with others in a small group, with lots of more natural words and phrases that you don’t get in traditional books.
Can’t wait until the next course starts.

Becky

I've absolutely loved every single minute of my Spanish learning journey with you Sam.

You are so fun and kind, you make learning a new language a joy and not as intimidating as it may sound.

I look forward to my class every week and I'm getting more and more confident each week that passes.

David

I’ve just completed Sam’s Spanish beginner course and found it very informative and relaxed. The course was well presented and easy to follow.

I'm feeling more confident and able to listen to someone speaking Spanish a bit better. Thank you for a very good intro to speaking Spanish.

Heather

I'm really enjoying Spanish lessons with Sam. The small group setting is perfect, and she makes the classes fun and friendly.

Learning a new language can be daunting but Sam makes sure everyone feels comfortable and not pressured or embarrassed if we make mistakes.

Claire

You can do it !!
Fortunately we had a small class and were able to have an intense teaching where we could practice speaking aloud. Sam's format and interactive teaching skills were incredibly useful.

C, Spanish Beginner Course

Sam is a fantastic teacher. I've studied a couple of languages and attended a number of courses but I've never played games or had so much fun. Sam makes the lessons engaging and the games make the words stick and I feel much more confident
Thank you Sam

Lucy - Private Classes

I wanted to learn some Spanish in preparation for tracking to Costa Rica. Sam’s teaching and follow up helped with greetings, directions, food allergies.
I enjoyed her teaching style and very practical prompts and reminders.
Although it was zoom it felt relaxed and designed for me.

Tracey L

Joined Sam’s beginners Spanish class in January and 12 weeks on I now know so much vocabulary that I would be confident to order food and drink, get an extra glass or replace a dirty fork after successfully navigating directions to a restaurant and stopping off at a cash point en route!

Rose S

Top notch teaching..
I think I'm going to 'get it '.
Sam is also very engaging. So glad I started this.

Georgina

I absolutely love this class, friendly calm atmosphere with friendly faces, broken down in easy fun ways, Sam is amazing!

R, Adult Learner

Thanks for making the lessons such a rewarding time.
It has been really enjoyable, and your teaching skills have always made learning Spanish seem that much easier.

I found speaking activities were good for building confidence.

Becky

It's so much fun and it's a lovely group of people to learn with.

Thank you so much for being such a helpful teacher, and helping me with my dream goal of being able to speak Spanish ¡Muchas Gracias! Xx

Jill S

Good fun and useful resources.

Heather


The lessons are interactive and engaging and Sam provides tons of helpful, easy-to-follow resources to take home.

The only downside is that the hour just goes too quickly!
Gracias, Sam😀

Michelle

Each week I can feel my confidence grow and I definitely feel confident about attempting chatting to the locals when on holiday, even if it's ordering a glass of wine at the bar.

Louise

My confidence has improved and a more local way of saying things is really helpful to know.

Thank you so much, I’m so happy I found your Spanish class, Sam.

See you next term. ¡Hasta pronto!

Lorna

I have been quite ill for several years and as I have always wanted to learn Spanish I thought this would help exercise my brain in an enjoyable way.
My confidence in myself has improved. My memory is improving too. I strongly believe learning a language helps this.

Becky

I've seen a lot of progress in my confidence, speaking out loud, and generally being more confident with speaking Spanish in Spain.

Michelle

The sessions with Sam are fun and friendly. The groups are small and everyone is at the same level. We all learn in different ways and Sam accommodates this in her teaching. I have loved the beginners course and can't wait for the "next steps".

Gary

Sam is a great teacher, who is always happy to give everyone a personal greeting, with Hola or como estas.
It's been great to attend her classes, as she has a fantastic knowledge of the Spanish language, and makes learning fun. Looking forward to start again in September and hopefully learn even more español. Mil Gracias Sam x

Lorna

Sam has made it easy for me to access her Spanish course. I pre-warned her of issues that i thought maybe a problem but Sam's attitude was welcoming and reassured me that I could take things at my own pace.

It is lovely to learn with others but in a small group, but also have work sheets to complete at home as well in my own time. Means I don't feel rushed in the class itself.

Bruce

Sam was great, full of enthusiasm, answered any questions I had, regardless to how simple they were.

Learning another language can be a bit daunting, but Sam's relaxed, very knowledgable approach made it less daunting. Looking forward to going back to Spain and putting it in to practice.

Gary

I have grown in confidence when speaking Spanish, and it seems to be becoming more natural without having to think about things too much.

Having Sam to support me along the way has been a great motivator, for me to keep on learning.

Rose

Sam is a lovely person, full of sunshine.
The classes are very intense but on the whole have been an absolute joy. I've learnt a lot of the basics ie. Greetings, numbers, how to order food etc. All useful stuff. I virtually knew nothing before, now I have quite a few phrases.

Sam's teaching style is very inclusive and she has local knowledge which is good. I will be returning.

Louise

I have really enjoyed Sam’s Spanish classes. They are interactive and we speak Spanish every week.

The handouts are brilliant. We have learned how to use more local language and this is very helpful. It is a low stress and fun way to learn.

Nicola

Sam your local knowledge is irreplaceable to us so we don’t sound typical English when we are speaking to the Spanish in their own language.
The location is friendly and it’s good to have the feeling of being able to go to the bar next door it’s opened up new places for most of us I think.

I love my Spanish family and mama Sam, I still have so much to learn. Please keep helping us.

Lorna

The class is the perfect size. The hour session i thought would not be enough, but I find we learn such lot in that hour. The hour session is perfect length.

Hola, I’m Sam

I’m a qualified Spanish teacher and the person behind SJ Languages.

I grew up in Tenerife and went to Spanish school there, then studied Spanish at university, graduating with a First and a distinction in spoken Spanish.

I can teach you the everyday language people actually use and explain how Spanish works in a way that makes sense to British learners.

I want you to enjoy coming to class, understand what you’re learning and feel more confident actually using your Spanish.
