“I’ve been in Ireland for 11 months now, and this time has been truly rewarding.”
I’m studying at ISI Dublin, which is the second language school I’ve attended since coming to Ireland.
Initially, my plan was to apply for a Master’s programme after completing my first language course. However, I felt that my English was still not strong enough and I wanted to further develop my language skills, so I decided to enrol for another period of English study.
When choosing a school this time, I specifically focused on the learning environment. I wanted to find a school where I would use English as much as possible and avoid relying too much on my native-language social circle.
At ISI, meeting classmates from different countries broadened my horizons and helped me become more comfortable communicating in English with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
My Learning Experience at ISI
What impressed me most was the quality of teaching and the opportunity to communicate regularly in class.
The teachers were patient and took time to explain concepts. Group discussions gave us opportunities to practise speaking with different classmates, while regular quizzes helped us understand our progress.
Life Outside the Classroom
Studying at ISI is not only about classroom learning. School activities created opportunities to meet people and use English in a more relaxed environment.
For me, working also helped me learn practical expressions and better understand local culture.
Language learning isn’t just about sitting in a classroom. It’s about immersing yourself in life and actively practising every day.
