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 who have 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

Irish lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Irish to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in the import/export business, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Even our most basic lesson for beginners will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Irish, as well as survival Irish should a short stay in the country is needed.

Listen & Learn does not generally recommend classes with more than 6-8 people, though Taster lessons in Irish can run with up to 12 people.
