“I loved the fact that City Language School provides an opportunity to take courses of any length, starting from 1 week! And it's affordable. The school is located right at the heart of Dublin, so I could easily be both a sudent and a tourist. Also, I loved my teacher Siofra - a native Irish - she is so lively, dynamic and approachable! The school staff was very supportive and helped me solve issues with my payment. Thank you! And till next time :)”
Insider tip: “Follow the payment instructions carefully. I overpaid for the course to the school because I forgot that my pre-payment had been taken. So they had to process a refund for me.”
