Along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October
When the wind and the light are working off each other…

The lessons were great! I’m lucky that I’ve participated in this course. To cut a long story short, I liked everything and I want to say “Thanks a lot” for such an amazing experience! It’s unforgettable! Now Ireland is in my heart forever!

In October 2016, Christina Heuer from Weimar, Germany attended our English Teacher Refresher Course. She gained so much from the experience that she decided to create a photo book that would illustrate her week in Ireland. Below are three photographs of her book – there is no better testimonial than this!
