Staff feedback

• It will help me communicate with people with great care by using clear and simple words. 
• It’s really useful for me to communicating with other people. I really know little about the Irish. To learn more about the phrase verb, is really great - Tingting Bo 
• I now have a greater awareness of phrasing emails and face to face interaction with international stakeholders and the language to be used.
