Learn English in Ireland

Learn English faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern Lingoo language exchange or homestay. With the total immersion method, you learn English all day, every day, for as long as your trip lasts.

You, your child or family group can learn English with a language study holiday in Ireland.   Lingoo publishes hundreds of offers of homestay accommodation from English host families, teachers and families looking for a language exchange.  

Ireland is an island with the most extraordinary landscapes in the world. Depending on where your Lingoo partner lives, you can visit the exceptional Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Connemara in the west or the Ring of Kerry in the south west of County Kerry.

The green midlands, the lake regions, the cliffs overlooking the sea, have all played there part in creating the inspiring tales of Celtic culture. Visiting these places with people who live there and know the history well definitely the best way to immerse yourself in the Irish culture, tradition and English language.

Nature is the dominant force that has shaped Ireland but there are also interesting cities to visit during your stay. Dublin is a city that has been rejuvenated by the foreign investment generated by Ireland’s Celtic tiger policy of the mid 1990’s onwards. Dublin is today a rich busy city, full of pubs and restaurants and with a real European feeling.

During your stay, don’t miss a visit to Galway Bay, with the three rocky Aran Islands guarding the entrance to enclosing to the bay. The sea port of Cork is another place not to be missed in Ireland.

The Irish people are renowned for their warmth and hospitality, making Ireland a perfect destination for your, or your child’s, language holiday.  

Finding the right host is important. We help you choose who you stay with based on location, lifestyle, interests (and even diet or religion). Our aim is to help you find a language partner so right for you that, through the learning experience, you might easily become friends.

Using Lingoo, you have more control and don’t need to use an expensive agency or residential English language school; you can search, select the English speaking host family or language exchange family in Ireland that fits best with you or your child and then directly organise a tailored and enjoyable language learning study holiday.

If you are thinking of adding some English lessons during your stay, many host families will also help you to organise a language course for your or your child with a local English teacher or language school.

Alternatively, staying in the home of a teacher is a new, intensive way to eat, sleep and breathe your English learning. Your teacher provides meals and accommodation together with formal or informal lessons tailored to your level of English and designed to help you widen your language skills and build understanding.
