Where should I learn English in Ireland?

Ireland is an up-and-coming language stay destination, and there are now many English schools and courses available across the country. Study English in the fast-paced, lively capital Dublin, or head further out to the countryside to experience day-to-day Irish life, in Cork, Bray, or Galway. Northern Ireland is also a popular choice, and its capital Belfast is a small but welcoming city, where you’ll experience a different side of the United Kingdom and learn quickly as you hear English spoken all around you.

Is the English spoken in Ireland different?

Each and every English-speaking country speaks the language differently to a certain extent, but the grammar and vocabulary used in Ireland isn’t that different from the English taught in schools across Europe - British English. Sometimes different words are used, but learning a wider vocabulary and acquiring a more global view of English is an asset for any learner.
