My God Ken, I know we are backward in Ireland but i don't think we are that bad

There is an Irish/Thai group that meet in Dublin every now and then

If you can't find google try bing, failing that go to your nearest library

In The UK nothing is free, Only her Doctor.Unless the local Council is offering free lessons , which i doubt, An Esol Course would be a good idea , but you will have to pay .Also a small job working with people is a good thing they learn all the words , Usualy all the factory words , If you know what i mean ,

Going back a few years ago,they used to put on free English speaking classes. for all them people coming from different EU country's

Which was subsidized by the government ..

This is not one of those Irish jokes it is ??

Paddy Irishman, Paddy Englishman and Paddy Scotsman were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and Paddy Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building."

Paddy Englishman opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Ham and English mustard again! If I get ham and mustard one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

Paddy Scotsman opened his lunch and said, "Haggis again. If I get a haggis sandwich one more time I'm jumping too."

Next day Paddy Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death.

Paddy Englishman opens his lunch, sees ham and English mustard and jumps too.

Paddy Scotsman opens his lunch, sees the haggis and jumps to his death also.

At the funeral Paddy Englishman’s wife is weeping. She says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of ham and mustard I never would have given it to him again!

Paddy Scotsman’s wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him cheese! I didn't realise he hatedhaggis so much."

Everyone turned and stared at Paddy Irishman’s wife. "Hey, don't look at me" she said. "He makes his own lunch"

What is available in the UK varies between areas and may not last long, but at the moment several ESOL courses in my city are free. My wife has been attending the local FE college for the last two and a half years - and still has a couple of levels to get through. This course also offers a life in the UK component, which gives exemption from the exam required for naturalisation (my wife is now a citizen). I believe the requirement for free lessons is proof of permanent leave to remain. There are also various voluntary groups that offer classes covering people who don't have residency. A third type of free ESOL course open to anybody is put on by trainee teachers at the University every summer - though the quality isn't so good. I'd be surprised if the Republic didn't have some options.
