    Anyone? Can anybody even tell me what the language departments in Trinity are like, esp French and Spanish? It might be a start!

    Hi! I don't study Literary Translation ,but I'm in TSM French and Spanish. In terms of both Departments I much prefer the Spanish Department. The lecturers are really good and approachable. It is very obvious that they love what they research/teach, etc. The French Department, imo, are very cold in comparison to the Spanish Department. Some of the lecturers can be unfriendly when you first meet them, although they can be nice. For my undergrad studies I find that they overcomplicate things in terms of literary analysis. The French Department like to be fairly formal with you (however there are a few exceptions in terms of teaching staff), but Spanish are not really that formal. I hope this helps!

    Thanks for the info. Funny, I studied Spanish and French in UCC, and majored in Spanish (minor in French) for exactly the same reason. They were enthusiastic and fun, whereas the French Department (esp the non-French people!) were very formal, very stuffy.

    Thanks again.
