The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Irish

These Irish lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Irish - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Irish culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Irish examination.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Irish

These Irish Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Irish to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone Irish and e-mail Irish skills for communications as well as Survival Irish required for short visits to a country.
