Learning German
Foreign language skills are notoriously bad in this country, but when we look at the languages we learn in schools we seem to follow our heart not our head. With 63% of Irish secondary schools choosing to teach French above other languages. It makes one wonder are we sufficiently jobs orientated in our language teaching.
