Welcome to Aurelie Languages
Thank you for visiting our page. We are working on the 2024-25 timetable so now is the time to send us requests 😃
Languages for pleasure & holidays
May it be a family holiday, an occasion to converse with the family abroad or simply as a hobby, we run regular classes in French, Spanish and English. Please scroll through our website to see what is on and contact me for more information.
Languages for business
Communicate with your foreign customers, clients and counterparts. I have experience teaching in sales, finance, commerce and health & veterinary environments. All classes and courses are tailor-made to suit your needs.
Languages fun for children
We are available for these classes on Wednesday afternoons; we are fully booked for the ‘Say Yes to Languages’ Primary Sampler Module for the first semester. Because of the nature of our work, we constantly have valid Garda Vetting (Teaching Council, Libraries, DELF sessions in schools ...) but are available to complete it for your own organisation.
Junior and Leaving Certificates (ordinary/higher)
French and Spanish grinds for the Junior Cert and the Leaving Cert. I am an examiner for the State Examinations Commission.
University Languages
Improve your French at all levels, or Spanish up to B2.
Translations
With our partner, Languages Unlimited Services Ltd, we offer translations in many languages, casual, business or certified.
Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française (DELF) certification
The DELF is a certification that can be obtained for the first 4 levels of the CEFRL. The DALF covers the last 2 levels, C1 and C2. The advantages of the DELF/DALF are that they are valid for life and recognised worldwide. The exams are adapted to children (DELF Prim/Scolaire/junior), adults (DELF tout public) and professionals (DELF Pro). I regularly prepare students for these exams. I am also an examiner in Alliance Française Dublin.
DELE Spanish Diplomas and certification
These examinations are the Spanish equivalent of the DELF and also follow the European standards for languages; they are valid for life and recognised internationally.
Home-schooled Learners
We can prepare homeschoolers for the French and Spanish Junior and Leaving Certificates.
How we teach
When studying with us, you will have the option to prepare for official exams in Alliance Française and Instituto Cervantes if you wish to. Sitting an exam is entirely your choice although we find it keeps students motivated. We are qualified examiners in the Alliance Française from DELF A1 to DALF C2 so you know you are in good hands.
Each course is tailored to suit individual needs or the requirements of each group (friends, companies, library groups etc.). We encourage students, through casual or formal feedback, to give their opinion on all aspects of their learning so we can keep the lessons engaging.
We follow the Communicative Approach where the learner is at the centre of the learning process and realistic communication tasks, oral or written, are the aim of each lesson. We keep up to date with what is going on in Alliance Française and Instituto Cervantes, regularly participating in webinars and workshops from the Spanish and French embassies in Ireland.
