ULearn English School Dublín

Thank you so much, my trip was wonderful! I will put in order: 1) About a school: - Firstly, I was little confused during the first visit: according to the agreement, we were supposed to take a test, instead, we had just a quick interview (just 2-3 minutes). I got to Upper-intermediate group, which was fine to me since my speaking and listening skills are not bad. - Frankly speaking, I didn’t have enough theory and practical exercises. I could ask for a transfer to another group, but I decided that speaking practice would not hurt. - The test progress is conducted at the end of every week. Those who have been learning for a long time and making some progress, are transferred to another group by school. But I’ve been there just for two weeks – so they were not that indicative to me. But if you study more than 1 month, you can take so called level test every month and pass to the higher level. - Entertaining program: almost didn’t take place. Three times a week a school carries out some activities like “how to write a CV”, “how to plan your budget” or karaoke-evening and walking along city streets. That is why I planned and bought excursions myself. - They check your presence/absence at the beginning and the end of a lesson. But I don’t quite understand why. 2) Living - As I wrote before, the accomodation is quite humble. My room was very small (a square of 2x2 meters) and located on the 3rd highest floor. In a room there were a twin bed, a bed-side table, a bureau with a low mirror and a tottering cabinet with shelves which I was really scared to touch, it was too flimsy. The list on the door said that it’s supposed to be a chair and a table – but I’ve never seen them. - Wi-fi was impossible to use when everyone in a house joins it (a computer just could not see the web). Wi-fi didn’t work in my room so I had to go downstairs to living room-kitchen to use it (but only in the early morning or late night). - A kitchen is shared by everyone and gets pretty dirty by the end of the week (but it depends on people, not the very accommodation). I got lucky about my roommates so we lived quite peacefully. Oh yes, we didn’t have a kettle so had to boil water in a scoop or a pot. But we had full range of different tableware - cups, plates, spoons and forks. - The only thing that disturbed us – the signal sound in a medical center across the road have been working for 4 hours last Friday!!! It was yelling, no one knew what to do. Then someone came and turned it off. But it was on again in 30 minutes and signaling for 3 more hours. Eventually, the owner (probably) came with repair services and it was finally turned off. Then I’ve had a headache. - In general, the location was good – neither center nor suburbs. It took 20 minutes to get to a school by foot, and walking on a morning city was nice. There were SPAR and some small pubs next to my place and also a big shopping mall (but it’s still secret for me what’s opening hours for Irish public places). - Generally, it’s okay to live there. 3)As for service and other stuff Here I want to thank a lot – I’m really satisfied. Documents for visa were prepared (thanks to your team) and applied in time, there were no troubles in the embassy. On the customs I’ve been asked where I’m going and for how long. They also asked me to show an invitation letter and have put the date of departure exactly as on my flight tickets back. The only thing I was nervous about that there is no passport control when you leave the country. I googled it then – it turned out to be ok like “thank you that you’re leaving”. Good bye You will need the mark about your departure date when apply for a visa next time. If you overdue that date – you won’t get a visa. I think it’s important to put this information in a covering letter before the trip. ...

It was the most incredible trip in my life! I want to thank the whole Linguatrip team for their help, especially to managers Alexei and Polina, who helped me with the preparation for the trip! I studied at ULearn English School Dublin, all the teachers were very interesting, thanks to them every day there was a great desire to study further, classes were held in one breath! If you choose an English school in Dublin, then I strongly advise you to choose ULearn English School :)...

This summer I did a General English course in "Ulearn" school which lasted for 5 weeks. I enjoyed it very much and am sure that I'll be back, because 5 weeks ended so fast. I really fell in love with Dublin, its people and the atmosphere of the city. I can certainly recommend "Ulearn" because it's a very good school with great teachers. I had two English teachers during my course, they were very different in their approach, but it is definitely a plus. As for the accommodation - I lived in a host family and I think that I was very lucky, there were no problems and the area where I lived was very nice and cozy....

This is the most memorable trip, where I got a lot of experience and practice. I was taking an intensive course, so my classes were on weekdays from 9 to 17. In the interval between the morning class and the daytime there was an hour and a half lunch, so I had time to eat, rest and just walk in the center. The school was in the center, it was very convenient. At school, the lessons were held in a calm conversational manner, where you need to work in a team with your classmates. There were no textbooks, all necessary material was recorded in a notebook. New interesting events were held every week. I strongly advise people who love new acquaintances and communication, because people there were all very outgoing and open-minded. At the end of the month they are for me as the family was, so it was very sad to leave. If I had the opportunity, I would go there for a year by the Work & study program, it is very common here. In my host family there was only one mistress, a woman of age. She was very kind and sociable. Very often she introduced me to her friends, and we always found many interesting topics for conversation. Initially i planned to take courses in New York, but I was refused a visa, so I chose this country. Nature, of course, is very beautiful and every day you can visit various attractions and excursions. In general, the trip was wonderful! I highly recommend this school!...

Thank you very much for this fantastic experience. The last week finished too fast. I hope came back early. See you soon.

Hello! I started my education in this amazing country 4 months ago. I am very glad that I chose the Ulearn school: The school is situated in Dublin, the wonderful atmosphere created in the school and the excellent organization of excursions and events held at the school daily thanks to Caimin. I want to express my deep gratitude to my professional teachers: David, Tricia, Patrick. A lot of material is provided for explaining grammar, preparing for the exam and writing letters correctly. It is very good that teachers change every 5 weeks, because you get used to different accents, different methods of teaching the material, thanks to which everyone gets the necessary knowledge. I spoke English and it's wonderful! The first week in Ireland I did not understand anything at all))) But fate smiled at me, and I have the opportunity to study at this school with these wonderful teachers. During my training I met a lot of friends around the world, I learned the culture and traditions of different peoples. Therefore, I recommend that you carefully choose and learn all the living conditions. I recommend this school for those who want to really learn English and get an opportunity to learn this country more closely....

I was absolutely delighted with this trip! The host-family was excellent, consisted of 5 people (3 children and 2 adults). Food was quite varied, communicative, they were constantly interested in my success, the house is spacious, i had my own cozy room. Except for the family was far from the school. There were a lot of activities, but best of them were - walking tour of Dublin, weekend excursions, joint trips to the cinema, karaoke night. Teachers were good, lessons were interesting. I liked that the director himself was very sympathetic, he always asked if we needed something or were satisfied with all. The location of the school is excellent. There were many students from Spain, as well as from Japan and the Czech Republic. Thanks to Linguatrip!...

I have been studying at Ulearn school for 2 weeks. In general, I am satisfied with the trip, however there were some drawbacks. The school itself is quite good: there are bright spacious classrooms, good air-conditioning system, small groups. But I cannot say that my level of English has somehow improved. Firstly, 2 weeks are not enough for a language course. Secondly, personally I did not have enough theory during the classes. I don’t have problems with speaking, but my grammar suffers :) I expected that I would take a test on the first day, as it was said. But in fact, I was only interviewed for 2 minutes and asked very simple common questions. It seems to me that such examination is not enough to assess the real level of language proficiency. Also, I had a teacher with a rather specific sense of humor - he liked to joke about stereotypes about different nations. Personally for me these jokes did not always seem funny… As for leisure activities, I did not attend any of them. I expected that there would be excursions or something else, but in fact there was a karaoke evening, a walk around the city center and various seminars (for example, "how to pass an interview"). It was not very interesting to me, but it's just my personal opinion. I was a little disappointed with the living conditions. The room was so small that the bed occupied half of the space. The closet was so shaky that I was afraid of using it: D There was not even a table or chair in my room, so I always had to go down to the common room just to use the table. I also want to warn you that my apartment had a very bad WiFi connection, I managed to use the Internet only in the morning or in the evening. Later I found out from other guys that not only I faced this problem… Despite all my comments, I still liked the trip. I also want to give thanks to all the LinguaTrip staff, all of them were very kind and were always ready to help me and patiently answer all my questions :) ...

¡Apartamentos terribles! Es imposible vivir en tales condiciones.

The school is cool!

I can’t say anything bad about the host family. Only good. Christine will always prompt, feed, help solve some problem. She understood me even in my broken English. The only negative, she did not have a cell phone, so on arrival it was hard to contact. The school offered a variety of excursions to choose from. It was interesting! Quite democratic teachers, everything will be explained, corrected. The only negative, little emphasis on grammar. And the course is not fixated. That is, you come and get, for example, in the middle of the course. The school is good and modern!...

La familia, por supuesto, era mejor que simplemente horrible: 2/5. Hubo muchos problemas con esta abuela, que constantemente tenía quejas y solo hablamos de ellas. En otros casos, sin comunicación, solo su cara triste, cansada o enojada. Dos "2" porque hubo cenas deliciosas. El resto, el viaje fue MARAVILLOSO :) La escuela es muy buena, al igual que los maestros y los estudiantes. Las fotos se pueden agregar más tarde. En general, sin contar la abuela - 100/100 !!!...

My host family consisted of one elderly woman. Very pleasant! If I didn’t have time for dinner, she covered it and you could then warm it in the microwave. Four more students lived with me in the house, each of us had our own separate room with everything we needed. The course is wonderful, the teachers too. ...

I was pleased with the apartments from the school. Clean, spacious. No comments. The school offered a variety of excursions. I even visited one, but then I tried to drive on my own. The course and teachers are good. But later I realized that this was a one-time experience. That is, if you already have a high level of language, it will be boring. The school itself is comfortable and modern. I like it!...

I still have positive emotions about the trip and the host family. But there were nuances that are worth noting. First, I moved twice in 6 weeks of training and changed 3 families. This has its pros and cons. I'll start with the cons. The move itself is inconvenient because you need to collect and pack belongings. I knew about the move from the owners, the school did not warn me about it, so the moves were surprises for me and for the owners. I must pay tribute to the fact that the school easily compensated me for the transfer when I moved, I must only ask a receipt from the taxi driver. On the positive side: I got a lot of familiar families and relatives of these families, in this regard, I had a lot of language practice, as I talked a lot with these people. As for studying. In principle, everything is good, interesting and informative. I tightened my spoken language, improved grammar and vocabulary. Classes were held in the format of discussion of various topics: Politics, Society, Economy, Ecology, etc. and that's cool because I learned a lot of new words. There were almost no compatriots in the group, most of the students were Spanish or Italian, I quickly became friends and we formed a wonderful international company: I, a couple of students from Korea and a student from Brazil, which further strengthened my practice in spoken English. The school consists of three buildings. The main part of the course we studied in a fairly comfortable building, but for one week our group was transferred to another, very old building (on the school website there is not even a photo of this class), where the old furniture is not very comfortable and there was no Internet. It was a very uncomfortable week of studying. Every Friday we tested how the material was assimilated. At the end of studying a certificate of completion of the course in ULearn English School is issued, but if you want to get it, you need to inform the reception. As for the entertainment program from the school. I've only been on two tours. The rest was not interesting or related to the pubs, which entrance allowed from 18 years, and I'm 16 years old. From the school, these excursions are cheaper than in the tour companies of Dublin. I spent the rest of the weekend on my own. I can say that in Dublin there is where to visit and what to see, both with the company and one can walk. Previously, you can Google information about interesting places in Dublin or explore the guide. In General, the impressions about the trip are great, basically, everything was cool. There are always some situations in traveling, but I believe that there are no unsolvable problems. And I have always had the opportunity to contact you if there were any difficulties that I myself would not know how to cope, which also gives confidence. ...

The family is respectable. Understand me perfectly. Top condition. Even better than I expected! The school offered a variety of activities for each day. Very large selection! I went on several excursions. It was interesting! The course was quite difficult. Teachers with a good sense of humor, but also with a touch of rigor. A school without advanced technologies, but I think this is a plus!...

Тodo está bien. No hay problemas en lo eferente a la residencia, me gustó también el curso. El programa del entretenimiento principalmente consiste en visitas a pubs, a veces hay excursiones. Estimación de escuela es 5/5.

Amazing school! Amazing teachers! I will definetly come here one more time. We discussed on lessons so many different topics, and even if there were something difficult to understand, teachers always pleased to clarify and help us. People in the group are gathered from all over the world - its a great opportunity to learn more about our world through different cultures!)...

I liked everything: helpful teachers, interesting topics, mock IELTS tests. There are a lot of Spanish and Italian students School has an excellent location. There are a lot of places to have lunch. Apartments were okay especially for a short term course. I liked the school and accommodation a lot! Thank you This school is reasonable value for money. ...

It was an amazing experience, my name is Teodoro Salazar from Venezuela, the teachers are really good and patient too. The Staffs people are helpfully and nice. I recommend this school 100%!

Everything was great! My host-family was wonderful, nice and kind people. There were 4 children in the family, we got along with them very well. They even invited me to come one more time! I improved my English a lot on the lessons, it was quite efficient. My free-time i spent exploring Dublin and travelling to the seaside. Thanks to Linguatrip! ...

I travelled with my son, it was great! Excellent family, careful attitude, food is good, varied, standard conditions. Excellent course, teachers had a high involvement in the lesson, they wanted to get through to everyone despite the fact that this is a group activity. Excellent school, but 2 weeks is too little! Next time we will go for a longer time, necessarily with Linguatrip! ...

Mi hija estudió en esta escuela, ella tiene 16 años. Nos gustó absolutamente todo, desde el trabajo del servicio y la organización del viaje y el final de los grupos en las clases. Elegimos homestay y quedamos muy contentos. En la escuela, todos los maestros son impresionantes. En la escuela, se presta más atención a hablar. Ya hemos venido a la escuela con un nivel intermedio, por lo que estamos muy contentos de que se haya puesto énfasis en el desarrollo de un discurso y una pronunciación competentes en inglés. En las lecciones se discutieron varios temas (lograron cubrir una gran variedad de temas en tres semanas), los estudiantes intentaron hacerse preguntas y estudiaron cómo podían expresar sus opiniones. ¡El progreso es obvio! La escuela ofrece un recorrido a pie para los estudiantes, que ya está incluido en el precio. Además, mi hija con compañeros de clase viajó de forma independiente en tren por toda Irlanda. Estoy muy contento con el viaje, mi hija tiene muchas impresiones! ¡Recomiendo totalmente ir en un viaje con Linguatrip! ¡Estaremos encantados de hacerlo de nuevo!...
