What we do
Foreign language skills connect people to more personal, professional, social and cultural experiences. Right now in Ireland, language skills are more important than ever to keep us connected to new and exciting global opportunities.
Through large scale projects like our Primary Module Say Yes to Languages, Nationwide TY Event #ThinkLanguages and Leaving Cert Language Classes as well as many events, resources and supports, we build awareness of the many advantages of having foreign language skills.
Origins of Languages Connect
The Languages Connect awareness campaign is being delivered by Post Primary Languages Ireland (PPLI) in partnership with a growing number of partners. It is part of Ireland’s Strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017-2026. We promote foreign languages to a wide audience. We engage everyone from students to industry professionals so we can make this happen. We’ve done a lot since launching in September 2018 and we’re introducing new and exciting projects and events all the time.
Post Primary Languages Ireland

PPLI has responsibility for implementing key actions in Languages Connect – Ireland’s Strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017-2026, which was published by the Irish Government in December 2017.
In order to implement the strategy, the PPLI team has grown considerably over the past couple of years. The team now includes specialists in Primary, Teaching & Learning, Operations and Marketing.
