A friend suggested D4E to me. My teachers were excellent and the atmosphere of the school was wonderful. I will never forget my 4 weeks in Dublin. I now recommend D4E to all my friends. — Andrea, Spain (General English)

Students attending D4E centres stay with host families which are carefully selected and inspected regularly by our accommodation officer. Regular contact is maintained with each host family during the student’s stay. The host families are conveniently located to the colleges and have many years experience looking after students.

Accommodation is arranged on a full board basis with packed lunch Monday to Saturday. Students normally share a room with a student of a similar age but of different nationality. Unless specifically requested there is only one student of any particular nationality in each family.

Students travel to classes each day by public transport – bus, DART (suburban train) or LUAS (tram). Private transfers can also be arranged.

Living with a host family gives a perspective into Irish family life. The interaction with a host family plays a prominent role in developing language skills.
