Ireland is the most Economic Option for European Students who Want an English Study Holiday this Summer

Each summer lots of Europeans take advantage of the holiday season to enjoy a vacation while also improving their English language skills for work or education purposes. And that is exactly where the DLTC English language school in Dublin, Ireland, comes in. We provide suitable English courses for teenagers and adults to help them improve their language skills and we also provide a range of leisure activities to help them enjoy their vacation time. There are many options around the world when it comes to English-speaking countries in which to learn the language but this year with the Euro currency weakening against the currencies of nearly all English-speaking countries, the best value option is Ireland.

Of course, it's not only currency exchange rates that make Ireland a great option this year. Quality English courses, wonderful and caring host families, friendly people, and stunning landscapes are some of the many things our students identify as being good reasons to study English in Ireland.

However with the US Dollar and the British Pound so strong against the Euro at the moment, the cost of a language study holiday in the US and those countries that use the Pound (Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland) will have increased at an unbelievable rate. Just on the exchange rate alone, a course in the US is going to cost nearly 25% more than last summer as the Euro dropped from a rate of 1.36 USD to 1.10 USD. Similarly a course in the UK is going to cost 13% more as the Euro has dropped from 82 pence to 72 pence in the last 12 months. So too the Australian Dollar is strengthening against the Euro so when you take into account the price of flights and the worsening exchange rate, that and other long-haul countries wouldn't be an option for most people.

So if you are or anyone you know is looking for an English language course study holiday this summer, the first thing to say to them is 'Ireland' and the second ... 'DLTC English Language School'. We're waiting for you!
