I had such a wonderful time in Dorset College and Ireland! It was only
six weeks but was really the best experience I have ever had, and
Ireland became the most favourite foreign country for me! Also, my 2
host families in Dublin and Donegal (Farmhouse stay) always tried to
listen to my poor English and to use easy English so I could understand
properly. I feel I was so lucky to be surrounded by nice people. Thank
you for the wonderful time and all your help.
Dublin is a nice city It has different monuments (museums,
Cathedrals, churches, shopping centres, Guinness storehouse ) to
visit. I like studying at Dorset College because the teachers are very
good. My teacher explains things very clearly and she is very funny. I
have visited different places in Dublin (Malahide, Dalkey) Next year I
want to come back in Dublin because I have been very happy here for
three weeks.
I had a wonderful time in Dublin thanks to the great Irish people, the
Irish craic and Dorset College. Your staff and course work are brilliant.

Dublin is the perfect city if you are looking for new experiences, great
culture, friendly people and a nice atmosphere to learn or improve
your English language. The country is just beautiful, the Irish people
