Personal comments
My language experience in Dublin was very hard at the beginning because when I arrived in Dublin my english was not very good and the Dublin accent is very strong, but after one year living and working in Dublin, my knowledge of the language improved and I started my Degree at University, where I had not a lot of problems with the English because I had already been living in Ireland for one year.
