Extra Beginners Spanish course starts 1st Feb - Wednesday nights

The DLTC Spanish and Italian Evening classes for the new year are scheduled to start over the coming weeks from 23rd January 2012. We also have an extra Beginners Spanish (Spanish 1) starting on 1st February on Wednesday nights as our Monday night class is practically full.


There are many great reasons to choose DLTC Spanish and Italian language courses:

• Genuinely small class sizes (average 8 students per class)
• qualified native teachers from Spain, Italy and Latin-America
• hour-for-hour best value prices among Dublin language schools (185euro for a 20 hour course - compare that to the other specialised language schools and remember we are purely a language school - so language courses our speciality)
• 5 different levels available in each language and level assessments available so you will be in the correct class for your ability and needs
• Easy to access - we are 200 metres from Dun Laoghaire DART station (20 minutes from Dublin city centre); the 7, 45A, 59, 75, 111 buses all stop within 200 metres of the school; and if you are driving, there is lots of free on-street parking directly outside our premises (parking is free from 7pm and our courses start at 7.15pm)
• 'Speaking' focused.- all our courses focus especially on speaking the language as this is often considered by students to be the most difficult skill to acquire and to get the opportunity to practise

So if you're looking to learn Spanish for traveling in Latin-America or for relaxing at your holiday home in Spain; or want to learn Italian to order wine and good food in Tuscany; or you want to learn either language for work, travel or enjoyment, then join our DLTC evening language courses or private courses.

Irish students need to learn more foreign languages

This is an interesting read from the Irish Times 08/11/2011:

"Ireland is miles behind when it comes to foreign language skills – a major drawback for students and the economy


THE BANK of alternate words for saying “hello” and “goodbye” among the majority of Irish people is often limited to “bonjour” and “au revoir”. Exporters, investors and educationalists blame our limited word bank on a “historical hangover” with French.

But now it is becoming clear that a country with conservative foreign language ambitions must latch on to emerging trends, stockpile the language bank and exchange pleasantries – and much more – in a variety of languages.

Russian, Chinese and Spanish have become the second language of choice for schoolgoers world-over as countries seek to tap into the markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China.


Ireland is miles behind. Here, French remains the language of choice for 26,766 (49 per cent) of Leaving Cert students this year, even though France is not one of our major trading partners and French does not appear in the top 10 most commonly spoken languages globally......Read the rest of the article in the Irish Times
