Location   

Tralee: Tralee is the capital of the County of Kerry , one of the most beautiful regions of Ireland . Situated on the South-west coast of Ireland it is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean which gives it a mild climate.

It has a population of 22,000 which makes it ideal for integration and language learning.

Study Programme

This course is suitable for all young people still attending Junior , Middle or High School

Our curriculum requires the individual to participate as part of a team in the full range of activities which are designed to excite and encourage the use of English, all under the constant supervision of our teachers and monitors. We also ensure that activities have an Irish theme or cultural emphasis to increase awareness. To allow parents to see the results of the course Eurolang has introduced a project into the curriculum which parents can view on our website at the end of the course.
