Frequently Asked Question
Are these courses online?
No, these specific group courses are held in-person in Blanchardstown to maximize interaction and immersion.
How do I know which level is right for me?
Don’t worry! We offer a free 40-minute consultation for every new student. During this chat, we’ll assess your current level, discuss your goals, and find the group that best fits your personality and schedule.
I haven’t studied a language in years, is this for me?
Absolutely! Most of our students are adults (aged 25 to 70+) who are learning for travel, family, or work. Our “Right Fit” approach ensures you are placed in a supportive group where you’ll feel comfortable and confident from day one.
How can I pay for my classes?
We aim to keep things simple. You can pay via Bank Transfer (EFT) or Revolut. Once we’ve had our initial consultation and confirmed your spot, I’ll send you the details or a Revolut request directly to your phone.
Do I need to pay for the full term upfront?
Yes, for group classes, a place is only guaranteed once full payment for the 10-week term is received. For individual lessons, we book in blocks of 5 sessions, payable before the first class.
What happens if I miss a group class?
We understand that life happens! We allow for two missed classes per term without them being counted. This gives you the flexibility you need if work or family commitments pop up.
Do I need to buy a specific textbook?
Not necessarily. At Dublin Institute of Spanish, we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. For the majority of our classes, we use bespoke, tailor-made materials based on your interests and real-life communication needs, all of which are included in your course fee.
However, for certain groups or exam preparation courses, we may supplement our lessons with a core textbook to better support your progress. If a specific book is recommended for your group, your teacher will introduce it and provide all the details during your first few sessions.
Is there a cultural element to the classes?
Absolutely! We believe you can’t learn a language in a vacuum. From virtual tours of Spanish cities to discussing regional traditions and multidisciplinary teamwork, culture is woven into every lesson.
