Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
English School in Dublin

Hi there!
I did a language stay in Dublin a few months ago, and I totally get it—it’s tough to figure out which school to choose with so many options!
Personally, I visited several centers before deciding. I hesitated between two big, well-known schools (EC, Apollo), but in the end, I went with a smaller, more family-like school, and I don’t regret it at all. The groups were small, the teachers were super approachable, and I progressed much faster.
If it helps, I found this article in French with tips and comparisons of several options in Dublin: https://www.castleforbescollege.com/fr/blog/sejours-linguistiques-en-irlande/
And if you’re arriving as an au pair, you’ll see that lots of others are in the same situation—it’s a great way to make friends quickly!
Have a great stay in Ireland! !
