Looking for a German Academy in Dublin

    Hi guys!

    This is my first post in the forum, and first of all, I'd like to introduce myself: I come from Spain and I've been living in Dublin for the past four months, trying to start a life here!

    Back in Spain, some months ago, I did an intensive course of German, which gave me a pretty good base. Now I'd like to continue learning, so I'm looking for good academies in Dublin which offer good beginner-intermediate courses. I know that most of you will suggest me Goethe, but right now it's a little bit off my money range :).

    Thank you very much!

    The Goethe insitut,

    :pac:

    That said OP, I did some research before starting with them and I found that per hour, they actually worked out at very good value by comparison with other language courses.

    There is also the German Language centre:

    I don't know much about them myself but it's another option. They also do a conversation meet-up every Monday night.

    Are you aware of this group?

    http://www.meetup.com/german-516/

    I joined their facebook page recently, they meet every second week on a Friday night in Temple Bar and on the other week they meet in a Costa Coffee on Dawson street on a Sunday. Might be a bit more convenient for you!
