Languages classes for staff are returning for Trimester 1. These courses are aimed at those with no prior knowledge of the language who would like to be able to understand basic everyday expressions and phrases. Learning will focus on speaking skills: introductions, interests, preferences and simple interactions with speakers of the chosen language.
The class will be conducted, as much as possible, in the target language. Topics covered include foods, hobbies and daily routine. An overview of culture and lifestyle will be provided. All four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing will be introduced and basic interaction in the target language will be encouraged.
- Language classes are open to all UCD staff and Postdoctoral Fellows (please enter your staff P-number to register).
- Log into InfoHub first if you have issues accessing the booking page or selecting an offering.
- Classes will take place on campus, locations will be shared with everyone registered at the end of September 2025.
