It is useful to point out precisely the mistakes that are made in speaking
City/place
It is a place where you can move around easily. The costs of the apartments are expensive though
Quality of teaching / language progress
It is a good course, I would suggest have different teachers in the morning and in the afternoon in order to learn in different ways.

Positive aspects of school
Stimulating lessons, favourable learning climate, ability of teachers to create a friendly atmosphere among students
Negative aspects
I would enrich the programme with afternoon activities to foster acquaintance between students from different countries; the school could also think about fostering mutual acquaintance between teachers attending courses under the Erasmus programme

The initial test may give results that do not conform to your actual level of knowledge of the language; you can still change classes
Other comments

Positive aspects of school
The school manager was very attentive and helpful
Negative aspects
The school boasts courses for all levels but offers little support for those at basic level. The presentation on the website is not very adherent to the reality of the school especially on the presentation of the premises, the first impact is not very positive, you would expect more.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
The general level of the school is good but you have to 'stumble' upon the right teacher. The presentation on the website is not very close to reality.
Other comments
the school is located in the centre of Dublin, so the location is good but the premises are cramped, it is situated in a 4-storey building and the lift is only available for teachers. The cleanliness of the toilets is not always good.
City/place
I liked Dublin, it is a city I would gladly return to. There are so many activities and things to see, it's easy to visit either by public transport or on foot. It is a very young city. A bit expensive for Italian wages.
Quality of teaching / language progress
the course was well run. You have to be lucky to come across a good teacher because not everyone is at the same level. I would not recommend the intensive course because the afternoons turned out to be heavy and unstructured.
Accommodation
Sheets were provided but very worn (almost ripped out) I had to ask several times for a change. The room was not very clean, as was the shared kitchen which had no windows. The receptionist was not very nice. If there are needs it is difficult to communicate with someone.
