studied General EnglishEnriching experience
The experience with Babel Academy was enriching both for the students and me, their spanish group leader.
Thanks to Babel Academy we were granted to have the best care. Families, overall, were wonderful, otherwise they always took care as soon as possible.
The English courses were generally dynamic and students could find a good environment to practise their speaking and listening, which I find to be the most important areas when going abroad.
The activities provided a good overview of Irish lifestyles, landscapes and culture.
Last, but not least, the staff was always wonderful to us, both the activities staff and the office staff. They always listened to our feedback, enabling to do more of the activities the students liked. Some activities weren't so much liked by the kids, and the staff usually tried to adapt them for students to like them.
They organised everything really well and were fast to solve any issues that could arise.
I would recommend the school for those who would like a very lucky Irish experience in Dublin (and of course, for those who would like to improve their English).

studied General EnglishReally good experience
Hi all!
I've just returned from my fourth year with the management staff and teachers from Babel Academy and I think the fact that I'm willing to come back for a fifth year speaks louder than anything I can say!
Anyway, I'll say that the courses were the best I could possibly imagine, with good and flexible teachers and students from a wide variety of nationalities. The tours were just as good, and let me know Dublin and Ireland deeply.
I highly recommend it!
