studied English Summer CoursesThank you ;)
I have been in Mackdonald Language Academy's summer courses several times and that's obviously because i like it. Kilkenny is a beautiful place which has become my second town, i loved spending time at the castle park and going for a walk in the city center. I also enjoyed the classes and trips and met a lot of people from different countries that are now my friends. And i stayed with families who always were good and took care of me so made me feel part of the family, specially those last years, i really had a great time playing with Mia and Sam.
I'm quite sure i will come back to Kilkenny someday, and that's because you gave me an amazing experience. I just can feel grateful.
Thanks a lot.

studied English Summer CoursesTwice an amazing time
I was twice in Kilkenny, July 2012 and July 2013, both courses were a great experience. I made lots of new friends. with which I'm still in touch. My host family was so lovely, I became a family member very fast. The classes were also very good, the teachers were nice people, I've learned a lot. The people in my class were from different countries but we had so much fun together :D
I regret that I found this language academy so late in my life :'(
But someday I'll come back just to see what's going on :)
Thank you very much for this wonderful time!

I went 4 times on a summer course with the language academy and so has my brother,and both my family and I can only recommend it to others as the host families are very welcoming and the lessons were well structured and valuable. The city of Killkenny is beautiful and I very much enjoyed trips to Dublin, historic sites and the seaside. I made many friends which whom I'm still in touch.
I can only praise the organisation as every year I have come I had a wonderfull time!
