THE DUBLIN SCHOOL OF ENGLISH (DSE) - English in Ireland 2018

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.
