All about the Southern & Western Ireland English Course.
‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.’
This is our most intensive course: it is a 2- week intensive English language total immersion travelling programme. After formal English class in the morning, our talk jockey accompanies you on a tour of the South and West of Ireland. Highlights of this trip include Waterford, Dingle, The Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and Galway.
On this this total immersion 2-week English course, you are engaged in English only for a full 2 weeks all day, every day. Our talk jockey is always with you to and there are guided tours every day. We can guarantee you will be speaking English all the time. As with all our programmes, you get plenty of chances to meet and chat to the locals too!

However, on occasion and only during summer, rooms may consist of 5 or 6 beds; in all cases, rooms are private and only allocated to Travelling Languages’ students. During low season – October to May – accommodation is guaranteed in triple rooms.

Our total immersion Travelling programmes give each student the chance to improve their language skills and confidence in just one week. They are the perfect refresher course before a language exam, to build that extra confidence that will enable students to pass their exam. Our courses are the perfect alternative to home tuition courses especially for those students who do not want to spend their time only with their teacher.
Our small classes make sure that each student receives the necessary attention by the teachers and the presence of TJs allows students to build their confidence in using English in real life situations (not only while in class). Every day you practise 16 hours out of 24 (assuming they sleep 8 hours per night): that is a massive 208 hours during the 2 week travelling programme.
Moving from town to town is a fantastic way of keeping students engaged. It helps to increase your knowledge, enhance your experience, meet different people and, most importantly, ensure that you practise English under continuous linguistic supervision.
The course is organised in order to discover the most breath-taking places Ireland has to offer. However, if students have any particular requests or would like to visit a specific place, we can adapt the programme accordingly.
We are accredited by ACELS and all our teachers are experienced, native speakers, have a degree and are fully qualified with a TEFL internationally-recognised qualification.
The courses are suitable for people who already have an intermediate level. Due to the small class sizes, our teachers can ensure that the learning needs of each student are met. Every activity (inside and outside the classroom) is designed to encourage you to improve your confidence and ability in using the language.
We provide each student with an entrance test to make sure that everyone has the right level to interact with each other and get the most out of the course. Students need to pass an initial on-line test to be admitted to our courses, to complete a needs analysis survey and to pass an oral assessment, in that way the teacher is able to customise the lessons to meet each student’s specific needs.
Breakfasts and dinners mentioned in the “What We Include” paragraph are included. However, you can add the “Half Board” option to your booking.
All our rooms are big and comfortable, all private for our students and only en-suite. Even the rooms we reserve in hostels are as comfortable as any room in a B&B or hotel.
In order to guarantee a real total immersion we organise rooms so that students of different nationality share the same room, however, if you prefer, a private room can be booked at a surcharge.
Overall Rating
5/5
An English course out of the ordinary, well-organized, rich materials, stimulating, fun and, above all, useful. This course has put me in a position to interact with people and build a new life in a foreign country. An unforgettable experience that has changed my life.
Excellent course with Travelling Languages this summer! I have quickly and effectively improved my English during the 2-week intensive course and all in a friendly atmosphere! I was also able to visi t the most beautiful sights of Ireland such as Dublin, Cork, Cliffs of Moher, Ring ok Kerry, Galway, the Burren... In short, I recommend them 100%.

I did a 2-week course and I strongly recommend it. It combines lessons in the mornings with traveling and tourism in the afternoon. I enjoyed Ireland a lot. You speak English the whole day and not only during the lessons and in my opinion it is very important.
