Dublin School of English http://dse.ie Government recognised English language school in Ireland Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:58:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 2012 http://dse.ie/2012/01/09/christmas-in-dublin/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=christmas-in-dublin http://dse.ie/2012/01/09/christmas-in-dublin/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:40:34 +0000 Jack Quinn http://dse.ie/?p=1006 Read more >>]]> Well, despite ‘The 2012 Phenomenon’, in which the Mayans predicted the end of the world this year, we are still here!  I hope none of you had the misfortune of seeing the Hollywood movie 2012 back in 2009…Unlike the Mayans we here in DSE have been looking forward to 2012 and are really quite excited now that it’s here because it looks like it’s going to be a cracker of a year.  We have more nationalities than ever coming to study with us this year, learning English, preparing for exams, taking new courses in Westmoreland College and getting a taste of Ireland’s cultural heritage on our free Cultural Programme.

This year we’ll have students from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, France, Belgium, Argentina, The Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Mongolia, Venezuela and Turkey – I’m sure there are a couple of nationalities I have left out – there are just so many!  If I haven’t mentioned your home country, please drop us a mail and I’ll add you to the list.  Let’s not forget the range of nationalities we have on our teaching staff: Irish, English, American even South African!

When you get that many nationalities mingling together the school is such a vibrant place with students of all ages getting to know each other, sharing their experiences and culture, hanging out, going for coffee or a pint and going on interesting Cultural Programme tours in Dublin and around the country with their DSE teacher-guides.  It’s so great to see that everyone finds common ground in speaking English – the world really has become a small place because now we all have this uniting tool  – English – to bring us closer together.

Being right in the city centre, in Temple Bar, the students have so many things to do: whether it’s going for a stroll round town, shopping, grabbing a spot of lunch together or catching a movie in the Irish Film Institute or even going to the theatre or hearing some free live music in one of the traditional Irish pubs right beside the school.  Temple Bar really is the only place to be in Dublin and it’s DSE’s playground!

2012 promises to be a really fun year here in Ireland with more festivals than ever, have a look here.   And let’s not forget Saint Patrick’s’ Festival is fast approaching – check out the calendar of events here.  And remember to check in to the school’s Facebook if you want to be in the loop for events going on in the school and around the country.
