The Language House School of English Dublin

Founded in 1996 in the British Isles, The Language House is a Government recognised School operating all year round in the prestigious D2 district of central Dublin. Situated by the beautiful Grand Canal, a minute's walk from the lively shops and cafés of Baggot Street and only ten minutes' walk from St. Stephen's Green and the National Museum, the School is housed in a superb 4-storey Georgian building. The School is only a 5-minute walk from the nearest train (DART) station and the main local bus routes. As we are small, we can give much more attention to each student in the classroom and outside the classroom than is likely in larger institutions. Our free Conversation Club will improve your conversational skills and encourage you to make friends from other classrooms and courses.

Dublin, the beautiful capital city of Ireland, has a rich and varied history spanning more than a thousand years. With a population of approximately 1.5 million, Dublin has all the advantages of a capital city while retaining the charm and warmth of a smaller one. It is an exciting, bustling city, with an enormous variety of shopping and entertainment opportunities. Irish pubs, famous throughout the world, are warm and friendly, and the Irish music scene is a very lively and exciting one.

We regularly visit and inspect the homes, and make sure that you are placed with the most suitable family according to your age, interests, occupation and background.
