Personal comments
I have studied in an english school when I was young, so learning the language was not the main reason for going to Dublin. However, I have been able to become more fluent both writing and speaking. I wanted to study abroad in order to take advanage of my fluency in English.

Personal spending habits
I spend more simply because life in dublin is much more expensive than where i live in france. As far as housing is concerned dublin is the first most expensive city after london i think, and because it is an island, most of the products are quite expensive. Moreover in france i had a car, whereas in dublin i take the bus or taxis, and those are expensive as well.
