Ireland
Between myths and legends, enchanting castles, green landscapes and enriching encounters, a language stay in Ireland is ideal for practicing the English language!
Do you feel like wide open spaces, festive, joyful and warm popular traditions and learning English at the same time?
If so, prepare yourself for a language trip worthy of a fairy tale in a country that is part of the Emerald Isle?
Presentation of Ireland
The island of Ireland, which lies to the west of the United Kingdom, is divided in two with :
- Ireland, sometimes also called the Republic of Ireland or Eire in Irish, which has 26 counties,
- And Northern Ireland with six counties, which is a nation of the United Kingdom.
For your language stay in Ireland, you will therefore go to the Republic of Ireland, which occupies most of the island of Ireland and has a population of approximately 4.8 million.
Ireland is a wonderful country with strong history.. From the colonization by the Celts, to the Christianization by St. Patrick, through the conquest of the Anglo-Normans, the great famine, the emigration to the New World and the war of independence...
All these historical facts have led to the strengthening of fraternity between the Irish community and today allow us to admire the vestiges of the past of this country with an authentic personality.
This same past has also given rise to a multitude of legends and myths that the warm-hearted people will be able to tell you during your language trip to Ireland.
If Ireland is known for its forests and green landscapes, it also offers a diversity of other spots with breathtaking character...
If you are a nature lover, it will seduce you with its fantastic panoramas and landscapes that bring together :
- Steep mountain ranges,
- Sandy beaches on the coast,
- Rippling lakes and rivers,
- Vertiginous high rocky cliffs and other landscapes...
In this country where people drive on the left and sheep move freely on the roads, the facades of Irish houses are colored to bring a touch of cheerfulness and thus compensate for the rainy and cloudy weather of the country.
You will notice in Dublin that it is not the facades of the houses that are colored, but only their doors from Georgian art...
Between singular cultural codes, traditional pubs with mugs of local beers such as Guinness, festive atmosphere and bucolic setting, the country has many surprises in store for you during your language trip in Ireland...
Why learn English in Ireland?
No, this is not a legend... the Irish people are warm, welcoming and will open the doors of their country to you in all kindness.
You will never feel lonely, the Irish will always come to meet you, regardless of nationality. They will make you discover their Celtic culture including :
- Gaelic sports such as hurling and Irish football,
- Their dances in groups or solo with ceilis, set dancing, hornpipes, jigs...
- Celtic music and many other treasures of Celtic culture!
The fact that you are going on a language trip in Ireland also means that you can stay in Europe and only benefit from a time difference of one hour.
How long will I stay in Ireland?
In order to obtain satisfactory results in English, you will be able to stay in Ireland for a minimum of one month during your language study stay in order to benefit from convincing progress.
If you can only be there for 2-3 weeks, the intensive language course will be of great help and the most suitable option.
Of all the English-speaking destinations, Ireland is the most competitive in terms of price for a language trip. Therefore, you will ideally be able to go there for several months.
What is the optimal time to go?
Ireland's oceanic climate is perfect for students who don't like high temperatures and are looking for cool temperatures without freezing.
The cool, wet, cloudy and rainy weather offers year-round temperatures ranging from 5 to 20°C.
In one day, you can go from cloudy sky, to rain, then to sunshine, and finally admire a beautiful rainbow.
You'll be able to get there:
- In spring: the temperatures are average, but the days are shorter than in summer.
- In summer: to take advantage of longer days and enjoy more sunshine.
- In autumn: a more favourable period for arts and theatre enthusiasts.
- In winter: to avoid the cold and frost which are more intense in France.
And why don't you leave to celebrate the national and popular St. Patrick's Day on March 17, which lasts five days? St. Patrick's Day is celebrated all over the country, but you will be able to celebrate it with even more people during your language stay in Dublin.
You will be able to celebrate, sing and dance in harmony with the Irish!
Which city should you choose for your language course in Ireland?
You can choose to go to Dublin, which is the capital of the country, to enjoy the dynamic and festive atmosphere that reigns there
You can also choose to go to Limerick or Cork, the second largest city in Ireland.
English Courses in Ireland and Accommodation in Ireland
Depending on your choice and your language level expectations at the end of your language stay in Ireland, you can enjoy general English courses, intensive English courses or IELTS exam preparation in our three flagship cities.
Are you a future teacher who wants to take your TESOL certification? Our Irish schools will be able to provide you with courses focused on this certification so that you can take it with complete peace of mind.

Other trips to the city, the Temple-bar district and the Guinness Storehouse are to be expected in Dublin.
