"Fantastic experience of English language"

Krzysztof Dworak, student from Portugal

This course was my second course of English in Limerick, in the same school. But I think it was more intensive and more mature on my part. I had the opportunity to know better English grammar and pronunciation, not only in classes, but studying English File Book in house where I lived. The use of the book have become an important element on this course. I was kindly welcomed by teachers and classmates. Activities were dynamics and interactive. I know, that I need study more, but that four weeks English experience in school, in pubs, on the street, in the church, in coffees bars and in the house become big and indispensable encouragement and incentive for the future. Thank you.

"An amazing opportunity to meet new people and learn English while enjoying it"

Samuele Sangalli, student from Italy

I stayed in limerick for two weeks only and I wished I would have stayed more. I really enjoyed the classes and I met really good people who made me feel welcome from the first day. Activities were fine but I can not write a full review because I did just two of them and were fine. I found accommodations in my friend's house. I am looking forward to come to Ireland again to study more English because I really enjoyed that time.
