Before I came here to Dublin I was a little bit afraid, however I made friends, real friends. Here you are not alone, we are together in the same boat. It’s like a little family.

I think that if you want to feel at ‘home,’ Dublin is the perfect combination of the human warmth of the people and the greatness of the city, which is perfectly easy to live in. My host family was the best thing of all, you are made to feel part of the family.

I chose Dublin because it’s a great city to study and have fun! It’s a young city, historically famous, easy to learn, and finally because it’s quite and calm.

Why learn English in Ireland?

Home to one of the friendliest cities in Europe, learning English in the capital of Ireland allows you to practice your skills in an English-speaking country whilst also feeling part of a community. In Dublin, you’ll be spoilt for choice over which pub to have a craic in, or which historical landmark to explore at the weekend. If you want to escape the city for a weekend, you can explore the rest of the “Emerald Isle” via train, coach or car, and discover the country’s vast mountains, fields and beaches.
