Study alongside other students in their thirties at our fantastic partner school just steps from the heart of Dublin! The 30+ programme was especially designed so that students over age 30 with similar interests and life experience could come together in an English class that facilitates participation and lively discussion. The building boasts 4 modern and bright classrooms on a separate floor just for 30+ students, plus a lounge, study area, library and free Wi-Fi.

La acogida fue excelente. Sin embargo a medida que pasaban los días interactuaban menos con nosotras, a pesar de intentar establecer conversación con ellos. Casi siempre nos dejaban solos en la cocina, cerrándose en el resto de las dependencias de la casa cuando nosotras estábamos en casa.La limpieza de la ducha (bañera) era nula, y la de nuestra habitación era mala.Respecto a las comidas: en el desayuno le indicamos que no podíamos tomar leche, pero tan solo compró un cartón el primer día, el resto de los días no. En muchas ocasiones los alimentos estaban en mal estado, o caducados (barritas de cereales agrias, pan de molde con moho...). Casi nunca tenía café.Las cenas algo mejor (fácil comparado con el desastre de desayuno)Los dos últimos días cenamos fuera por actividades con la escuela de idiomas, le pedimos cambiar la cena por lunch, el cual fue una miseria.La limpieza de la cocina era nefastaEn general la experiencia ha sido excelente, excepto la familia. Es una pena ya que los dublinenses han sido muy amables, y esta familia no lo parece. Ni si quiera bajaron a despedirse el último día, a pesar de haberles comunicado la hora de partida.Sin duda, creo que este tipo de familia no debería de incluirse en esta experiencia ya que merma notablemente la satisfacción global

Je suis satisfait Le professeur pourrait faire en sorte de parler davantage les étudiants que lui même ! C'est ça une pédagogie participative et interactive ! La famille était accueillante et disposée à échanger avec moi pendant les repas.La chambre était correcte sauf le matelas et/ou le sommier qui datait probablement de 25 ans ! :-)La famille était très bien située (15 minutes de l'école / 30 minutes en heures de pointe). L'arrêt de bus était en face de la maison ! :-)Les repas étaient corrects (haricots du jardin ! ) même si la quantité était un peu juste.

Intentar no poner alumnos de la misma nacionalidad en clase. Se trabaja mucho en grupos y en mi clase a veces éramos 4-5 españoles El desayuno para estudiantes siempre croasan ( no había opción de cambiar así que tuve que pagarme un desayuno más saludable)la cocina compartida estaba siempre sucia y las basuras hasta arribaLo peor fueron las fiestas de estudiantes hasta pasadas las 12 de la noche casi todos los días y el poco caso que me hizo el recepcionista cuando me quejé. tuve una estancia de 1 semana sin poder descansar debido al poco respeto y falta de personal que asegure el cumplimiento de las normas y velar por el descanso de los alojados

Sí, con restricciones.Su pregunta no permite matices...La ubicación, en la confluencia de dos vías importantes, implica un nivel de ruidos q dificulta el trabajo del profe, la audición, etc; si se cerraban las ventanas el calor era molesto... Mi nivel de inglés no me permite comunicarme más y mejor El personal bastante atentos y amables La aglomeración de estudiantes en el salón de la entrada, en ciertas horas, junto al hecho de existir un futbolín y la bulla correspondiente de los alumnos q jugaban resultaba molesto

Me encanta Irlanda, creo que es el mejor país para aprender inglés porque los Irlandeses son muy amables y siempre están dispuestos a hacer un esfuerzo para entenderte y que les entiendas. Está un poco lejos del centro pero bueno, tampoco demasiado y para compensar tiene en frente un río y un paseo muy bonito.Creo que estaría bien que tuviera más baños y las aulas se quedaban un poco pequeñas pero las profesoras eran muy buenas y eso es lo realmente importante. El trato del resto de personal también fue muy bueno.

You’ll be provided with bed linens and towels, and for meals, you can choose between just breakfast or half board. Your commute time to school will range from 15-45 minutes by public transport.

If you want to be right in the heart of the action in the centre of Dublin, this is a great option! Enjoy your independence in an en suite single room with a double bed and free bed linen, a wardrobe, desk and chair. Get in a workout at the onsite gym, cook meals in the spacious shared kitchen, play a game of air hockey or foosball with your fellow residents or unwind on the comfy sofas and watch a movie in the TV lounge. You’ll also enjoy the large courtyard with a ping-pong table, free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities and 24/7 security. Your commute time to school will range from 20-30 minutes by public transport.

When it comes to things to do and see, Dublin is an endless source of entertainment! Take advantage of the free activities organised by the school, including walking tours of the city, pub nights where you’ll explore Dublin’s legendary bars and an intro to Gaelic football in the park.
