Te experience of living and learningin a country like Ireland, immersed inEnglish is incomparable, especiallywhen you have the opportunity tolearn in such a great school.My teachers were fantastic, theclasses were fascinating, and notonly did we learn English, but wealso learnt history, culture, politicsand lots more. I was very lucky tohave studied in Emerald, I madefriends that will be in my heartforever. Emerald is a big family, andfrom the moment you walk in thedoor and Ann at reception greetsyou with her famous smile, youknow that it is not only businessfor them. Students are their priorityand they care about them. Teircommitment to us is something youwont see everyday.
