Where can you find a
better place to learn English than in Ireland, a country famous for
its hospitable and friendly people, stunning beauty of the
landscapes and coasts, wealthy of the music, theatre and literary
traditions?
George Bernard Shaw claimed that the best and most proper English is
spoken in Ireland. There are many famous English - speaking authors
from Ireland, e.g. Yeats, Beckett, O'Casey, Joyce - so this
statement is understandable.
Today modern and robust European country, Ireland still worships its
strong cultural and historic traditions. In reality, tradition and
modern times go together. Ireland is a safe, not very crowded
country with clear water and air. It makes Ireland a perfect place
for many sports and activities in the fresh air, such as fishing,
horse riding, sailing, golf and walks on the hills. There are also
many indoor social and cultural activities for those who are less
active.
