Question Does anyone know of conversational Spanish classes without grammar in Tenerife?

Just wondered if anyone out there has managed to find somewhere or someone who will teach CONVERSATIONAL SPANISH without all the grammer etc.

I understand loads and can speak some but it would be nice to able to hold a conversation not just enough to put together a sentence which will be understood!

I have found a few online that give you free audio downloads - but it really would be more helpful to have someone here in Tenerife.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted
Thanks
Barbara

My own personal opinion: you cannot learn a language without grammar. Not even conversational. End of.

Exactly. If you don't understand how a language works, you cannot understand it, or speak it.

As my mate MT would say ... at best you won't be understood, or worse, you will be misunderstood.

He's right many of my friends are from South America and the problems my Spanish and their English cause everyday makes us both laugh, but I am trying hard, I think as you get that bit older its more difficult to learn another language.
The fact is us Brits are lazy when it comes to speaking anything other than English compared to other Europeans. Certainly speaking with Spanish speakers has helped me enormously ....
