German Evening Course

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could personally recommend German evening classes in Dublin city centre / along Luas Green line for a complete beginner ?

I have already looked on the web at the Goethe Institut but its too expensive..

Thanking you for any responses,

You could check the noticeboards of universities or have a look on Buy&Sell for language exchanges with native speakers.

you might find somewhere listed here http://www.nightcourses.com/

www.gumtree.ie where you can find germans to teach you, if you teach them english

The library in the ILAC centre organises language exchanges with native speakers, but of course you'd need a basic knowledge first. Might be a good way of sussing out a tutor though?

Ahh, I should have read your mail more closely...

I was recommending the Goethe Institut

Hi,

lots of schools do evening classes, including German classes.
They tend to stop for the summer, so you'd prob have to wait until september.
I did German night classes in the community school in Dun Laoghaire years ago, and found it good.

The only bad thing, is they they tend to have 3 levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced).
Of course to start with you are a beginner, but once it's finished, its difficult to know what to do next - you are prob not advanced enough for intermediate, and there's no point in doing the beginners one again.
Thats why places like the Goethe Inst may be worth the extra money - they have loads of levels, so its easier for continuous learning.
(However if you just want the basics for a holiday abroad etc, the other school night classes would be fine).

Ragazza.
