    Hi,

    Basically, I'm in college at the moment but want to go back and take spanish for the leaving cert through distance/ part time learning. I feel it would be beneficial for the career paths I have in mind. I found a place called Kilroys college that does it through distance learning but people don't seem to rate them too highly. Does anyone else have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it?

    Are you doing a non-languge degree? If you don't need LC Spanish to gain entry to a different Uni. course you would be far better learning Spanish at home with step by step books and CD's from the library. Believe you will progess so much faster. And you're level of Spanish will be more suitable for the real world rather than LC Spanish which mostly allows you to only memorise semi pointless things.

    To be honest if you want to get some formal Spanish Education, I think your best bet would be to go to the Instituto Cervantes (if you're in Dublin) and do the official Spanish DELE Proficiency exams (from beginner A1, A2, B1, B2> Advanced)

    You can also study with a native teacher and pay to sit the proficiency exam in Instituto Cervantes in Dublin or in University of Cork. Could work out cheaper. :)
