Course description

Students on Academic Year Programmes are integrated in with students on the General English 15, 20 or 30 courses, in the morning or afternoon, depending on the number of hours per week they book.

"A fantastic learning experience that makes you grow as a person"

Alessandro Pisoni, student from Italy

the school is really great for learning English: the teachers are really professional and very engaging, all the staff helps you with any problem you may have, from the bar to school issues. interesting activities are always proposed that can help you discover the area and the local culture. it is easy to reach both on foot and by public transport since it is located right in the center of the city. If I have to find a flaw, sometimes it happens that they do not put you in the class suited to your abilities but in a slightly easier or more difficult one, but in that case they are immediately ready to find you the right accommodation. truly a great experience

"Good experience"

Mégane Diesler, student from France

I've just spent a week at Delfin English school in Dublin but it was a wonderful experience. I met so many interesting and industrious people ! My teacher was awesome, helped me to be better in English and gave me some enriched vocabulary. I would recommend this school to everyone because of the activities that are proposed each week. This is very stimulating and interesting !
Thank you for everything.

"Funy adventure"

Jolana Grochowska, student from Poland

My course took place in the morning and afternoon. Two classes were very nice. The teachers were very specific and well explained, they were also funny.
Unfortunately, the distance from school to home was very large.

For two weeks I studied the same issues, it was level A2, but what I had at classes in the first week I had also in the second week.

All in all, it was an adventure for me and at school I had a good time, but I hoped that there would be more grammar.
My English has improved and I will continue studying in Poland.

I met many cool people from around the world at school and made interesting acquaintances

"A great experience!"

Tiana Toth, student from Germany

My teacher was a good entertainer. He was very funny and also helpful.
Location of the school and residence was perfect. I would recommend the premium student residence, because there is a gym and a small cinema room with a big TV for movie nights.

"It was an amazing experience"

Daniel Castañeda Bello, student from Spain

My experience in Delfin School was really good, teachers help me to improve a lot my English and there I met a lot of awesome people who know are my friends.

Maybe I don't like to do test every Friday, I think it's not necessary, because in one week you can improve a lot. I know they are for catch the things that we have learned that week, but I prefer to learn more than waste a day doing a test.

"Good experience"

MICHELA NECCIA, student from Italy

The teachers are very good and prepared.
I did a intensivecourse per 3 weeks moorning and aftenoon 30 houres per week.... now I think that the good solution is moorning course and 1h for day of conversation.
When I arrived I understood that the main building was reformed and I started the course in a secondary school very old and dirty :( I passed there 2 weeks an the last week I attended the afternoon course in the main building whit the work in progress .
I stayed in premium accommodation very comfortable.

"Nice experience"

Daniele Cafaro, student from Italy

Delphin English school in Dublin was very nice for me. it need to improve just the activities after school; sometimes they weren't engaging and few people participated, an example the living room on Friday. The other things were all right! Now I write some more words for to have 50 words!!! :)

"It was useful and with a lot of activities."

Alessandra Martina Crudo, student from Italy

I think there were too much of students from the same country in the same class. I moved to an upper level so I had two different teachers, Kristine and John - they are both very good (We did a lot of exercises and plays so the classes were enjoyable), especially John who gave us exercises suitable to improve our weak points. The teachers of the conversation classes corrected our errors when we spoke. The activities in the afternoon weren't always how they were described and in the reception the girls didn't have enough information about them. I liked the ground floor; it was like place to meet new people from all over the world.
