Introductions
Welcome to English for Living. This series is especially for people who have been living in Ireland for a while and who have learned some basic English and would like to learn more. It deals with situations which people meet every day when they are living in an English speaking country and is set particularly in Blanchardstown.
The series hopes to help people to build on the language that they already have and give them more vocabulary and expressions for communicating in everyday life. It aims to give people more confidence so that they can explain clearly what they need or want to know and understand more easily what people are asking them.
