Spanish for primary schools

Say Yes to Languages: Spanish tutor support for Irish primary schools.

Hablo Español can discuss Spanish delivery with schools participating in the 10-week Say Yes to Languages sampler module and help schools plan ahead for future programme cycles.

For schools

  • For the current cycle, we focus on schools that have already been accepted or need tutor capacity.
