"I got to know many new people for different countries."

Blanka Blahó, student from Hungary

I like the location. It was easy for me that the busstation was next to the school.
I had 2 teachers. The first teacher( Tiernan) was brilliant, i learned a lot of new things, and there were very good exercises, but the second teacher( Ross) for me wasn't the best teacher. I think we played too many kahoots and games and learned few new things.

But overall it was useful for me.

"It has paid off!"

Edson Pereira de Castilho Junior, student from Brazil

First of all, the classes were very profitable, focusing mainly on vocabulary and speaking. The school was very well located, inside temple bar. Moreover, special activities were carried out to accelerate the social interaction among the students of Kaplan.

On the other hand, I think the host family was not well chosen. They didn't talk to me very often.

"I can live in country with foreign language"

Georgy Kozlov, student from Russia

It was a beautiful trip. I felt good because every teacher or member of Kaplan college helped me if i had some questions and applications. I would like to visit Dublin next year and study in your college 2-3 weeks. But I entered to the university and now I don't have enough time for these trips. I wish you will have many good students and your college will be developed. Place where the college located is the best territory in centre of capital.

"The school is very recommendable, great teacher and great methods of education!! Maybe in summer break it's too crowded!!"

Luciano Martinez, student from Argentina

The school was great. Amazing teachers and all of them are very friendly. Maybe the only problem for the Spanish speakers is that there are many Spanish students, but I think it's the same at every school around the world.
But I really recommend this school!!!
