Spanish classes for people who are moving to Spain or are simply interested in the languageSpanish is a language that is increasingly required for professional jobs, as well as for travelling and living abroad. I want to help people who are currently living in a Spanish-speaking country or who will be moving in the future, or are simply interested in learning the language. From learning the basics one needs to know to defend oneself, to reaching a fluent and confident level of Spanish in any situation. During my classes we will talk about different topics guided by a book, but also about casual day to day conversations. Currently living in Dublin.

French Courses at Home or Webcam for beginners, intermediate or advancedEN - Hi, I'm Martin and I would be glad to help you learn French, be it from scratch or to help you improve.
I love to make my students speak, since I strongly believe that practice is the key to learn a language and to improve your knowledge.
I always structure my lessons according to subjects based on daily life situations (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, shopping/grocery, going to the doctors, professional language, etc).
We'll go through the grammar, vocab, and pronunciation. If you're intermediate, we'll also do some lessons about reading comprehensions. We'll put both the grammar and vocabulary in practice.
