Living and learning with your English teacher in a homestay in Dublin Ireland through Lingoo is a new intensive way to eat, sleep and breathe the English language. An English teacher homestay in Dublin allows you, your child or family group to benefit from a full linguistic and cultural immersion in an authentic Irish home environment.
Situated at the mouth of the River Liffey on the east coast, Dublin was originally a Viking settlement and later the second largest city in British Empire before becoming the capital of an independent Ireland in 1922. As one of Europe’s youngest cities, Dublin is perhaps best known for its spirited atmosphere and live music scene. But despite being the largest and most populated city in Ireland, Dublin prides itself on having 3,700 acres of parkland.
Rich in history there is no shortage of magnificent architecture to admire - start with Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral. Renowned for its world class education, Trinity College is home to Ireland’s greatest cultural treasure, The Book of Kells. The National Library of Ireland housing more than 8 million works is regarded as one of the most important literary institutions in the world. There are many interesting facets of this dynamic city to explore.
With Lingoo, you choose your teacher based on their qualifications and experience, the type of accommodation they offer. As you are staying in the home of a native speaker where English is spoken every day, you gain real life language practice opportunities in real day-to-day situations. What’s more, you become a part of that Irish family and immerse yourself in the local culture. When staying in the home of a qualified teacher in Dublin, these opportunities are supplemented with formal or informal lessons to help you develop your English language skills and build understanding.

Hundreds of approved qualified teachers are registered with Lingoo. You can choose a teacher based on where you want to stay, shared interests – even diet or religion. Each Lingoo teacher has a personal profile that includes references and evaluations from students who’ve stayed on a homestay with that teacher. This all helps to avoid that terrible moment when you first ring the teacher’s bell and wonder who will answer, because you already know each other.
Remember that Lingoo teachers go through a stringent validation process. Their identity and qualifications are checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us. Together with references and visitor evaluations, contracts for each reservation, and support from the Lingoo team when misunderstandings occur, we ensure that your homestays are safe, secure and offer great value for money. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through Immigration. Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.
