The Language People 1 Shandon Street, Dungarvan, County Waterford X35 A365

"Last year I went to Ireland to do an exchange year. My agency was a different one, but I got to know Maud Cunningham (founder of the Language People) thanks to my host sister, who had her as local coordinator. Even though I was not her student, she took care of me anytime I needed and she invited me to do a few activities with her students, such as hiking and horse riding. She helped me a lot and checked up on me way more than my actual local coordinator. I would really recommend this school because Maud is very helpful and friendly. She really likes getting to know students from other countries and help them to feel well and comfortable. Moreover, the school also offered a Cambridge English course and when I came back to Italy I took the exam and I passed it with a very good grade. That’s just thanks to her coarse and to the great preparation we had. If you are looking to spend a few months in Ireland, Maud Cunningham is the best option for you… You won’t regret it!"

"Last year I was able to do an exchange year in Ireland through the Language People. I had a great experience with the school, especially with founder Maud Cunningham who was my coordinator. The host family she picked for me was a perfect match and I felt completely at home after just a few days there. Maud checked up on me regularly, making sure I was doing well and enjoying my stay. She always took my concerns seriously and helped me with any problems that arose. Even in the pandemic Maud was able to organise activities for us exchange students such as horse riding and hiking which were always great fun. The school also offered Cambridge English courses to all exchange students fitted to their individual abilities. All in all, I would definitely recommend Maud Cunningham & the Language People to anyone thinking of doing an exchange year in Ireland."

"The Language People organized a school year in Ireland for my daughter. The school was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy with the experience. Maud is extremely dedicated and found a great family for my daughter, was always reachable and took all our concerns seriously. She organized extra corona testing when asked and was always there when I had questions. I had the feeling my child was in good hands. The communication might have been slow on non-essential issues, but having lived in Ireland myself I could take it. Maud is very reliable and was always there when we needed her. All in all I was very happy with the service and my daughter enjoyed greatly her stay. I would certainly recommend the school to anybody considering a stay in Ireland."

"I definitely would not recommend this school."
