English For Polish Natives

250,000 Polish people live and work in Ireland; making up almost half of all migrant workers, according to the Polski Gazeta a Polish newspaper that was established in 2005 to fill the needs of the rapidly growing Polish population in Ireland. The Polski Herald, the Polish section of the Herald, and the Polski Express are two other publications that have been developed in Ireland in order to bring home and world news, sports, recreation, entertainment and information on the law to the Polish community.

To get a job in Ireland a grasp of the English language is essential. Those who arrive in Ireland without a working knowledge of English will find themselves secularised in that they will not get the level of employment that they may deserve. There are very little jobs in Ireland that don’t require communicating with English speakers and so a failure at this will result in lower wages and more menial labour. Taking English classes is a great way of improving the chance of getting a better job, and a better standard of life.

Margaret oversees the running of English Language School Gordon & Gordon which is recommended by Polski Gazeta as being a good choice for those who have little or no English and want to learn. Every level is catered for from the more basic to the most advanced; classes take place twice a week for two hours at a time. The cost of the course is €165; the main benefit being that there is no time limitation. So if you are having difficulty in picking it up there’s no pressure; students can come to every class for a year if they wish and be charged the same fee. No more than 11 students are in a class at once; ensuring that a close relationship is maintained and everyone is catered to on a personal basis.

If you wish to attend the classes which take place at a centre on Talbot Street you can contact Margaret on 087 6335130; the first class is free for anyone who wants to try it out… Boa sorte!
