Living in Dublin Ireland with Irish Families while studying at The Language Centre of Ireland, Dublin. An important part of the student's visit to Dublin and Ireland is his or her integration into Irish family life. The Language Centre of Ireland has a list of families based in the Dublin area, all of whom have been visited and approved. Care is taken not to place more than one student of any mother tongue with each family.
Breakfast nowadays is a light meal - fruit juice, cereal, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee.
Home-made brown bread is an Irish speciality and Ireland is renowned for its dairy products and fresh meat and fish. In June and July the long, bright evenings until 10.00pm mean that sporting activities can be enjoyed until quite late. Irish families live in houses with gardens away from the centre of Dublin City so you will have to travel to school by bus or train. Irish life is friendly and relaxed and you are welcomed as part of the family. The weather in Ireland is very variable, but is neither very hot nor very cold.
