Learning English

We are in the middle of one of our busiest months of the year, and we have just had our busiest day so far!

Walking through the exhibition, I can quite clearly see that we are exploding with excited language students from Spain, Italy and even further a field like Brazil! While some of Dublin see the language schools as annoying and in the way, we look at them in a different perspective. They are students in a foreign country, learning English. And while we hope they are learning some English, we also hope that they are learning a bit about Ireland’s history and enjoying the different sites they visit on each trip or day out.

When I’m scrolling through the twitter account, it shows just how much fun the language students have at Dublinia, trying on the different costumes and hats and how excited they are to be in Dublin. I not only see this activity on twitter, going through the exhibition I watch them as they try on the costumes or pretend they live in the Viking house enjoying every bit of their experience.
