Course recommendations
Take the seminar courses if you're accustomed to a small student-teacher ratio. The lectures are just that - lectures. Little to no interaction during class.

Personal comments
As a student of English in such a demandin university as Oviedo, my knowledge of the language was pretty good so I never had basic problems when it came to understand the locals. But I really improved as regards fluency and the use of informal expressions. I learn a bit everyday as I'm always mixing with Irish people.

Personal comments
Galway definitely has an active nightlife. There is always somewhere to go or something to see. Students are everywhere so I don't think you could ever be bored. Although the city itself has so much to offer I would make sure to get out and see other parts of the country - buses and trains are easily accessible.

At the university, people were easily understandable. Around Ireland, especially in rural areas, people could be more difficult to understand.
