Charlesworth mum Lucy Rock has teamed up with a local language school to offer new Beginners French and Spanish classes for adults at Glossopdale School in Hadfield. 

Lucy, a University of Manchester Masters graduate in Modern Languages, lived and worked in both Spain and France before returning to her roots 10 years ago. 

She said: "I've always loved languages and sharing my love of European culture and travel, but it's difficult to find a fulfilling professional role when you have very young children. 

"So when Language For Fun Glossop offered the opportunity to balance family life and an exciting new chapter as a languages tutor, I was delighted." 

Lucy will be teaching both French and Spanish as part of the expansion of LFF Glossop. 

"The courses are structured and very well-designed, and at the same time, focus on conversation and having fun," said Lucy, "so they appeal to adults who enjoy this conversational approach of having a go at speaking from the very start. But we never put people on the spot either, so that puts everyone at ease. 

"I also think people are ready to start enjoying life again after the pandemic and hopefully our courses will offer people something they can enjoy, perhaps in preparation for holidays that we've all missed. I can't wait." 

Language For Fun Glossop is launching Beginners French starting 1 March and Beginners Spanish starting 2 March at Glossopdale School, Hadfield.
