Sadly can't be discussed without reference I'd say.No talk of Garda Vetting, Insurance etc please.
I’ve used Duolingo to try to improve my Spanish. It’s good at what it does but, largely Duolingo is the Spanish of Central and South America and only occasionally Spain. Language Transfer* is a better all round app and is free of charge and has no ads.Lots of primary school kids using Duolingo app for free in order to start learning different languages so very limited potential there for second level pupils I would think.
You’re probably right, but I hope you’re not (no offence intended). I see potential here, but note I’m using the word “potential” - I’ve noticed our grandchildren picking up on Spanish quite easily (albeit in their first week in Spain) and all it should take is a little continuous nurturing and some practical experience to bring themoninprogress. Teaching pre school kids a new language ( I believe) is not as daunting as most would think.Very little potential in general. Very limited interests from this age group (number of students), very difficult to keep interest going. I don't say no children are interested but very different from being a great little earner. Teaching a language requires more than just being able to give children a few words. Very few secondary students would have both the language skills necessary and the teaching skills. You are doing it in situ, it's much easier and better than in Ireland in any setting.
Not daunting, just not necessarily for secondary school students. It requires a lot of work when you are not in the country and with new learners to build a lesson that is engaging. And the demand is not high. I have two bilingual children (European language) but that took time, efforts and regular exposure to the language.You’re probably right, but I hope you’re not (no offence intended).
