Would you like to practise using English with other people?
You should try to spend some time with other people practising your English and communicating with them.
Look at this example of a meetup.
Meetups are a great way to learn new words and practise your English communication skills with other people.
These people should be Irish or they should come from another nationality, so that you have to use English.
You need to be at least an Elementary level speaker of English to benefit from the meetups.
Meetups are all about learning some new words, speaking as much English as possible, meeting new people, and having FUN!
Each meetup starts with a language activity to learn some new vocabulary and speak to the other people at the meet up.
All nationalities are welcome.
Native speakers are also welcome!
Weekly agenda (Documents will be provided.)
These can include, but are not limited to, the following:
- People who are studying English
- People who are working here
- People who are living here.

- Sometimes you will not understand everything that other people say to you and you will have to ask them to repeat what they want to say in a different way.
- Sometimes people will not understand and you will need to repeat yourself.
- This is how many people learn a language and become more confident in using it. So do not be afraid of making mistakes – the important thing is communication.
