Diploma in Spanish at NUIG

whatlliwear · 2011-06-08 20:15:35

Has anyone here done this course? It says you don't need previous experience.. I have about 3 phrases lol. Or would I be as well off doing a 10 week course in GTI?

A user in this thread in NUIG forum mentions doing it. Maybe PM them?

http://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/adult-and-continuing-education-courses/spanish.html

Who is this course intended for?
The Diploma in Spanish is designed for those who have little or no previous knowledge of the language and wish to gain Spanish language skills for personal or professional reasons.

Sound like it could work?

Galway -> Spanish forum at some point.

Did you try posting in the NUIG forum? Someone might share some experience with you if they did it. More likely to find an answer there.

Hi i did this course. it is a 2 year course and i really enjoyed it. it was very relaxed and the class and teacher were great. i would recommend it. it ran on a thur from 6.30 to 9.30. it is only 12 weeks for each semester and the time flew by. just in case you do it i have the first year books for sale and can get the 2nd year ones if you want them:) sorry had to throw that in! It must be a good course because one person trav from Dublin and another from Athlone.

I haven't done the diploma but I did take a Spanish evening class for 1 term at GTI.

It was grand but very casual, not much progress was made over one term and the young Spanish girl teaching was a bit all over the place. I'd say if you really want to make progress try the diploma.
