Learn English in Ireland

Limerick Language Centre:
Limerick Language Centre is an English school located on the west coast of Ireland. We offer year-round General English courses to adults (17+) at 9 levels from Beginner to Proficiency. We also offer preparation for the IELTS and Cambridge exams as well as evening and intensive classes. Accommodation options include homestay with a local host family, student apartment, hotel or guesthouse. We are a medium-sized school and so we can - and do- take an interest in each one of our students. They come to us from many different places: we currently have approximately 75 students from 4 continents representing 36 different nationalities.

Location:
Situated on Ireland's west coast, Limerick is a friendly place to study. Although it is Ireland's 3rd largest city, it has only 85,000 inhabitants. Our students tell us it is large enough to offer them everything they think is important in a big city and small enough to make them feel comfortable and at home, even on their first day.

The school is located in a lovely Georgian style house on a residential side street of Limerick, just a 3 minute walk from the main shopping area.

- Host Family accommodation:
We feel all students should spend at least a few weeks with an Irish family upon arrival... it is probably the nicest introduction to a new country. All students have a private room in a lovely home with a warm, caring Irish family. Wherever possible we match students to families based on mutual interests. Our families are known to us personally and most have worked with us for many years. All are inspected annually. We are proud of the welcome our families accord our students. Our families live in a suburb of Limerick, just a 10 minute bus ride from the centre.

- Student Apartment Accommodation:
Based just across the river from the city centre (about a 10 min walk). You will have a private room with a private shower, sink and toilet in a comfortable, modern apartment. Some apartments have 3 bedrooms, others 4 and 5 bedrooms. All apartments have a cosy living room and up to date kitchen. Apartments are shared, typically, with other foreign students (from our centre or foreign students attending the various colleges and universities in Limerick) or with Irish students.

- Bed and Breakfast Guesthouses:
Ireland offers a unique type of accommodation called a B&B. It is a family home but run like a small hotel. The only meal available is breakfast (a big one!) and there are no cooking facilities. A few B&Bs are located in the city centre, others are situated just outside the centre, about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the school.

- Hotel accommodation:
There are many hotels in and around Limerick City. Categories range from 2 Star to 5 Star.
