Intensive Pre-Holiday Refresher
By Get Talking Spanish
Aimed at those who already speak Spanish but haven't practiced in a while or have lost their confidence in their ability to communicate in Spanish. During this single three-hour session, we will be meeting in the charming streets of Edinburgh, where we'll embark on a leisurely walk (weather permitting) and indulge in some wonderful Spanish tapas. As we stroll and enjoy some food, we'll refresh your Spanish skills, covering all the essential vocabulary and structures you're likely to use during your upcoming holiday. One non-alcoholic drink of your choice is included in the price of the course, however food isn't (but the tapas are worth every penny!). We offer flexible location options – just let us know your preference. You will leave feeling confident, motivated and ready to speak Spanish while abroad. *If you would like to take part in this session with your partner or a friend, you can do so! There is a £20 charge per additional participant, with a maximum of three participants per session including yourself. If you wish to book for more than one person, just proceed with the booking as normal and then let us know in the notes and we will contact you shortly to arrange payment for the additional participants.
The Empath's Protection Kit

In this course, you will learn where these different energy attacks may come from. You will gain higher intuition and awareness and get a chance to resolve any energy depletion to feel your true self again.
