Summer 2014 English Language & Activity Course for Teenagers

The DLTC English Language & Activity Course for teenagers takes place this year between 30th June 2014 and 16th August 2014. 

Located in the beautiful seaside area of Dun Laoghaire in south Dublin, Ireland, the course is available this year over 7 weeks. 

Students can choose to attend English classes only; attend English classes with afternoon and weekend activities; or attend English classes with activities and stay with an Irish family. The standard activities include sports such as football, basketball, swimming, gaelic (Irish) sports; cultural activities like Irish dancing and music; sightseeing excursions to the famous parts of Dublin city, Kilkenny city, Galway city, Wicklow and more. There is also an option of attending a sailing course with the sailing club in Dun Laoghaire during the first two weeks of July.

Great feedback from students on our General English Courses

It's great to see that the teachers have started 2013 as well as they finished 2012. This is what students have been saying in recent weeks about their teachers, their English courses, the DLTC English Language school and their host families:

15/02/2013: Very good teacher .. I'm satisfied .. except my stay was too short. My host mother helped me learn and was available when I needed. Thanks to all the team! - Emmanuel, Belgium, General English Course

15/02/2013: All the course was useful for me. My teacher was excellent. My host family are very, very, very nice .. the best family in Ireland. I will return! - Francisco, Spain, General English Course

18/02/2013: The best thing about the course was the speaking. My teacher was very professional; the contents were serious and enjoyable; and my experience was great! - Axel, France, General English Course

28/01/2013: The best thing about the course was the conversation and hearing English. It's a good school and sometimes hard which is good for learning. - Igor, Croatia, General English Course

You can read the whole story in the Irish Times newspaper but the cost of living here is now cheaper than most European capital cities .. sounds like Dublin could be a good place to choose to do an English language course maybe! Anyone?? :) http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2013/0206/breaking28.html

Best value Spanish and Italian language courses in Dublin

When looking for the best possible Spanish or Italian Evening course, you should shop around - and then book with the DLTC language school in Dun Laoghaire. Here's why:

We took a look at what other language schools were offering last September and, when we took a good look at courses in terms of the actual price you pay per hour tuition and the course details, we were really surprised at how expensive other schools are - here's what we found:

• Dawson school had the lowest course fee at 100euro but as you are only getting 6 hours tuition for that, it was the most expensive course per hour (16.67euro per hour).
• Sandford school was the language school whose price per hour was nearest ours, but even that was over 2euros per hour more expensive.

So what's the difference? Why are our Spanish & Italian courses cheaper? The answer: we believe in good value. All our courses are taught by very experienced, qualified, native-speaking language teachers. We use standard coursebooks that come with student CDs so you can continue to study at home. We offer progression - you can start as a beginner and continue through 5 more levels. We guarantee no more than 11 students in a class and our average is only 6 or 7 students per class - which offers you a lot of direct teacher time. We've been running these courses since 2002 and understand what our students need. We provide a friendly, relaxed but professional service. We are easy to get to (bus, DART and free on-street parking directly outside).
