Personal comments
Just arriving Dublin we had some problems with the language since english language spoken by irish people is sometimes hard to understand,but day by day you get used to it and then you take their way of speaking as well.Complementing the International Business and Languages Course we had "English for academic purposes" at different level and that´s was really helpful for us.Interacting with with foreigner students and irish people when that was possible was a very important to improve our english.
