Conversational English classes for new Ukrainians being held in Leitrim

Fáilte Isteach

Between eager migrant ‘students’ and local volunteer ‘teachers’ willing to help teach English, there was a great turn out at St Joseph’s Centre on Monday morning last.

This was the first ‘class’ held in Leitrim Village in the Fáilte Isteach programme, which aims to help integrate migrants in the community, through teaching English and communication skills, in a relaxed and casual ambience.

Conversational ‘Classes’ are provided by voluntary tutors and are open to new migrants, on Monday mornings from 11am- 12.30. For further information, contact Caillin on 085-7653152 or  [email protected]
