Language travel Ireland: Learn English on the Emerald Isle

Why go on a language study trip to Ireland? Quite simply, a language study trip in an environment where English is spoken in everyday life is a booster for language skills and motivation to learn. Although Irish (the Celtic Irish Gaelic) is officially promoted in Ireland and many street and place signs greet you first in this language, English is the most widely spoken language in Ireland and also the most common mother tongue among the population.

For an Irish language study trip, "Eire" fans and the curious ("Eire" is the Irish Gaelic name of the country) are spoiled for choice between language courses in various cities, especially:

  • Dublin: In the lively and diverse capital of the Republic of Ireland and one of the oldest university cities in the world, all the sights and shopping areas are within walking distance and the nearest pub or music venue is never far away.
  • Cork: Located on the south coast, Ireland's second largest city is known for its lively jazz, film and folk scene and is close to unique natural landscapes such as Killarney National Park and the Ring of Kerry.
  • Galway: The charming university city on the west coast of Ireland with its colorful mix of houses, numerous galleries and pubs in the alleyways of the old town is considered the gateway to the unspoiled landscapes of Connemara. And if you prefer a quieter pace, you can simply relax on the nearby sandy beaches of Salthill after your language course.

Irish language schools offer well-organized English language stays with half-day or full-day courses for different age groups. There are shorter language courses and long-term courses, courses focused on communication or business English, as well as comprehensive English courses in preparation for an international language diploma. As a rule, the language schools also organize accommodation in a hall of residence or with a family connection in Irish host families.

The easiest way to plan your language study trip to Ireland is to contact a language travel provider. On our website you will find local providers who know their Irish partner schools well and regularly check their course and accommodation offers. You will receive competent and personal advice from these providers.

A language study trip to Ireland is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their English language skills on the "Emerald Isle" and enjoy Irish hospitality, make new contacts with people from all over the world and at the same time do something for their career and immerse themselves in Irish culture.

Questions and answers

Language schools in Ireland generally offer various language courses from which students can choose. You must decide this at the time of booking, as this is a question of both organization and cost. Standard courses are usually offered by all language schools and comprise around 4 lessons per day. You can also usually book intensive courses on language trips to Ireland, which can have up to 30 lessons per week, i.e. 6 lessons per day. However, as each language school defines its courses independently, it is of course possible that an intensive course at one school may have 20 lessons per week of 45 minutes each, while at another Irish language school it may have 25 lessons of 60 minutes each. You should therefore always take a close look at the duration and number of lessons in order to compare the courses on offer. Diploma courses that prepare you for English language exams are also very popular and usually have the same duration as intensive courses.

Which language course you choose depends on how much time you want to spend per week and day on an English language course and what your goal is, for example a language diploma or improving your business English. Once you have decided on one of these models, you can now decide which course option you would like - group, mini-group, individual lessons or combination courses consisting of individual and group lessons. Your language level also has an influence on the choice of a suitable language course for language travel to Ireland. For example, as an English beginner, you cannot take part in business courses, as level B1 or B2 is usually required. Also, not every school offers all levels for all course models, so you should bear this in mind when searching.

The requirements for an English course during a language study trip to Ireland are set by the individual language schools. A minimum age of 13 years usually applies for youth trips, and a minimum age of 16 to 18 years for adult trips. Some courses, such as business courses, are primarily aimed at people over the age of 25, although this can vary. For many language courses, you must already have some previous knowledge of the English language. However, there are of course also beginners' courses aimed at people with no knowledge of English at all, particularly in the area of youth travel. You can find out more about the requirements for an English course and all the courses on offer for language travel to Ireland directly from the relevant language schools.
Each language school offers different course models, which often differ in terms of content, number and duration of lessons. In most cases, however, you can choose from the following offers for language travel to Ireland:
  • Standard courses
  • Intensive courses
  • Exam preparation courses
  • Business English
  • Individual lessons
  • Long-term language courses
  • Combination courses (e.g. from standard and individual courses)
You can also find more information on the individual types of courses in the guide "Education and continuing education, further training in languages" (see navigation point "Education help" above), which you can download here free of charge.
After you have registered for a language course, some language schools will send you a placement test that you can complete at home or online. You should always do this without any aids or support so that you can be sure that you will be assigned to an English course that matches your level and where you can learn in the best possible way. However, not every school offering language travel to Ireland sends out placement tests before the start of the course. Very often, these are taken on the first day of the course by all new language students on site, who are then assigned to the appropriate classes. This means that any knowledge you may have acquired in the last few weeks before the start of the course is also taken into account when determining your level.

Some language schools only offer host family accommodation, which is the most recommendable option in terms of price and language. However, you can usually also choose other types of accommodation, such as shared flats, rooms on campus and in student residences, hotels, apartments and studios. Please bear in mind, however, that meals are usually only included in the price and organized for host families and that you are self-catering with the other alternatives.
