Still no sign of plans to have it for the Leaving though. At least it's going to be part of Junior Cert and transition year programme. Let's hope we don't fall behind other countries though.
I'm attending beginner's Mandarin class with my husband. And for your information, I'm Irish born Chinese and my husband's Irish.
