Lessons in basic Greek, Spanish and Italian are being staged at Park View Community Association, in Chester-le-Street.
Classes will include history and cultural information, and tasting traditional local foods, all designed to appeal to would-be holidaymakers.
The association is staging three-week taster classes at its Church Chare site, starting next Monday, from 7pm to 8.30pm.
There is no need to book and no charge, and classes are suitable for all the family. More information is available on 0191-388 2248.
