ONCE (Spanish National Organisation of the Blind) and VICTA are giving students in Spain and the UK the opportunity to practice their language skills virtually.

This is perfect for those learning Spanish at school or those looking to practice their spoken language skills in a supportive environment. You can help Spanish students with their English language development and it’s a great opportunity to connect with and find out about another culture.

Topics of conversation could include traditions and customs, favourite subjects, holidays and food and drink.

The sessions will combine approximately 30 minutes speaking in Spanish and 30 minutes speaking in English, with a short break in between beginning at 10am, finishing at 11:15am. The session dates are below:

Saturday 1 February 2025
Saturday 10 May 2025

You will be notified as to whether you have been successful for each session and a Zoom link will be circulated closer to the session time. Registration for each session will close approximately a week before it is due to take place.

Alejandro, a student at New College Worcester, is using his Spanish language skills to recommend that you join the sessions!
