Our young grandchildren (mostly 4 + 5 year olds) and grand nieces and nephews joined us in Spain to spend two weeks in a warmer clime. Spanish children are on holidays from school too. Because of the heat and humidity even at this time of year (March) children visit playgrounds often just after dark.
I’ve noticed Spanish and Irish kids have a desire to communicate with each other even at such young ages. Mrs Lep and I have been “teaching” ours some basic simple Spanish. The Spanish children are no different and share the same yearn to communicate. All the kids seem to be enjoying the experience.
So where is this going Lep? - I reckon there are opportunities for some 2nd Level Irish students to instruct much younger children in a European language even before that language is taught in schools. I have no idea of rates or whether the instruction should be 1:1, 1:2 etc. However I think it could be a nice little earner for many.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter. No talk of Garda Vetting, Insurance etc please.
