A few words from Spanglish – Educational and Cultural Centre, Kilkenny
Spanglish is born to cover the demand of certain educational services in Kilkenny, meant to suit a broad range of the community, committing to a quality and inexpensive service to stand out from other similar services that can be found around. We are adapted to the times we live in. For that reason our main concern is to provide a quality service, promoting the value of environmental and social sustainability.
Given the current economic situation; it becomes even more important than ever to improve our CVs to adapt to the competitive employment market. It is important to stress that learning another language is essential in the global economy, and Spanish is the language in greatest expansion. The number of students choosing Spanish for their Junior and Leaving Cert has increased significantly and the demand of learning Spanish has augmented as well for the number of people choosing Spain as a destination not just for their holidays but for their retirement too. We are offering Spanish lessons that suit every need. We have groups for Junior and Leaving Cert, and for adults and children, divided by levels. We also offer a three month course for beginners and a conversation course as well.
It is important to remark that Spanglish provides all materials necessary for the courses, so you do not need to buy any books. We give the students our own printed material when needed, but we work based on an interactive methodology, using the game as a didactic resource, and proposing different types of activities to promote listening and speaking skills. In the special case of the Junior and Leaving cert, we don’t base our classes on a specific book either, since we have in our own records the different books used by the schools to compliment and reinforce what is explained in there.
Moreover we offer a creativity workshop through recycling materials. The conventional artistic activities normally lead to the purchase of expensive material. We want to promote the values of reusing and recycling, not just as a means of saving money, but as an alternative to the fierce consumerism of recent years, and as a sincere commitment to the environment. Moreover, the scheduled time at 12 on Saturday mornings gives parents some time for doing their own business!
And there will be even more activities to come to Spanglish!
The location of Spanglish is the Abbey Business Centre, in the heart of the city, with very good parking facilities nearby. What else could you ask for?

What a welcome home for the Kilkenny hurlers, both minor and senior teams, who have done us proud yet again this year.
Yesterday, the Liam McCarthy Cup came back to Kilkenny for the fourth year in a row as the current Kilkenny hurling generation have surely proved themselves to be the most successful and dominant hurling force ever seen. The four-in-a-row was only seen once before in hurling history and that was a long, long time ago.
Amazing Stuff.
Massive estimated crowds of 30,000 experienced the homecoming yesterday despite heavy rain, spiteful wind and the biting cold. Fantastic entertainment prior to the arrival of the champions were led by rock band UP4IT and by local trad favourites, The Kilkennys, formerly of Uisce Beatha fame. The homecoming was presented by Edwina Grace, of KCLR96FM.
A large amount of respect has to be given to Kilkenny student Alan Hayes, 13, as he closed the event with a powerful version of ‘The Rose Of Mooncoin.’

Kilkenny always had a very distinct lack of forums, where it’s members can meet and chat, debate and agree about anything they want. There are a few forums out there in Kilkenny but they tend to be dedicated to a certain area. So we decided to create our own forums. The idea is to provide an interactive experience for it’s members.
