Thursdays, the café

After an hour in room two we go downstairs to the café next door, one table per language. The only rule is the one on the sign: no English until you pay.

£8 an evening, a drink included. You don't need to be on a course.

Before your first evening

A fifteen-minute chat

On the phone or in the room. We ask a few questions, in English first, and tell you which group fits.

Buy nothing

No textbook. You get a folder on the first night and fill it yourself.

Missed a week

Come to the Thursday café that week instead, free. Two missed Tuesdays and we'll call you.
