An organisation that helps people from overseas to learn English is expanding its hours.

From the autumn, Cafe Lingo, based at the Promenade Methodist Church, Douglas, will operate for two hours instead of one on Saturdays.

From 10am to 10.40am volunteers will be helping beginners and the less confident with the basics.

From 10.40am to 11am they practise social expressions.

Then from 11am till noon they will cover more advanced language on a weekly theme.

They need more volunteers to help.

A second session for all volunteers will be held on Monday, July 3.

People who’d like more information, should contact Karen Norton on 458340.
