Hi guys this my secpond post here.I started to study in Drogheda Institute of Further education,sport and recreation.Wanna be a soccer coach in the future(for me enough to be a kids coach).But I m not fluent in english,so Im surprised I get a a chance to study after interview.Im in Ireland 4 years,and really like your country,now feeling like an Irish/Polish.Always protecting Ireland when talking with anybody:-)
But its not what I want to say.Could anybody tell me what is Pool Plant operations?It will be my first subject on monday,and I was shy to ask a master:-)
The funniest thing is I m older 26 then others in the class and only 1 Polish.
Good bless me:-)
I was so shocked on my first day(last thursday)so Im even didnt open my mouth all first day.What a crap.Maybe anybody here will start studying with me ?Allright ,good luck for everybody starting to study this year:D

I have no idea what Pool Plant Operations is, though I suspect it is management and maintenance of swimming pools. It is probably this http://www.fetac.ie/doc/WelcomeServlet?DocId=0901df9e800020d3

But don't worry about it, it will be explained to you as there are lots of Irish students who won't know what it is either.

Look, your English will improve as you do the course, and my experience has been that - generalising like mad - Eastern Europeans are very well able to deal with the courses. Don't worry, enjoy it.

Edit - the people teaching the course are known as teachers rather than masters, and they are mostly very approachable, they would much rather that you ask if you are not sure of things, but don't get anxious beforehand, things will be explained, if they are not, then you ask!

Yes its should be something about swimming pools,I supposed.
I wish my english will be better,hopefully.But more important to me is make a new friendships and learn new skills:)

Ps.3 One of my subjects is Gaelic football-Im scareeeeee.

Everyone else is in the same situation, you will soon get the hang of it. Just going back to the teacher/master thing, you would not really address your teacher as 'teacher'. Either he/she has told you their name, or you just say 'excuse me'.
