What is the Language Hikers?

Our innovative “walk and talk” approach not only improves your language
but helps with mental and physical well-being.
​
Spanish "walk and talk" for all ages
We create a relaxed and social environment for learners of all ages and levels,
from playful children to curious retirees, to build confidence and fluency, step by step.

personalised Spanish learning tailored just for you.
Fun, movement-based Spanish classes in York’s beautiful parks.

All while walking and talking in Spanish. It’s screen-free, joyful, and designed for how children actually learn.

their Spanish outside the
classroom with natural conversation,
real-world vocabulary, and
engaging, age-relevant topics.
Great for GCSE & A-Level support.
​Spanish learning that fits your life and pace. Join relaxed walks with conversation-driven Spanish practice. Perfect for all levels or anyone wanting to try something new while keeping fit and making friends.
Stay active and social while learning Spanish. Our Spanish walks for 60+ are gentle, supportive, and a great way to stay physically and mentally active while connecting with others in York’s natural surroundings.
Benefits of learning in nature
Learning Spanish in York’s beautiful nature is more than just a walk.
It’s a confidence-boosting way to connect language, movement and community.
Scientists believe that physical activity may alter brain function, making it more
receptive to new information and improving memory retention
Real life practice
Practice Spanish in real life, not just from textbooks. Gain fluency and perfect pronunciation outdoors, not in the classroom.
Physical & mental health
Keep fit, tone up and learn a language at the same time. Time in nature helps lift your mood, clear your mind and increase motivation.
"Strong mind, strong body"
Confidence boosting
As your Spanish improves, so does your confidence! Our proven methodology will help you gain
real life speaking skills
- step by step.
What our hikers are saying
Heather
It's amazing how much it’s possible to
learn when you are enjoying a walk in the fresh air in lovely locations.
​
Even after three sessions with Jayne I feel confident enough to make simple sentences
and respond to easy questions.

Claire Charters-Vine
After years of wanting to learn Spanish, I started my Spanish lessons with Jayne. I have just had my 3rd lesson and can count up to 15, speak most of the alphabet and say several food & drinks too.
​
Learning while wandering is marvellous. Jayne makes learning fun and the lessons are tailored.
I would highly recommend Jayne's lessons.
Olga
Jayne is Adam’s Spanish teacher with a twist.
She teaches language while walking and exercising.
​
The talking, listening and moving-around
approach really clicks with him.
I can’t recommend Jayne’s lessons enough.
