it was good to get to know some everyday phrases including slang. In addition, Irish english is definetly something which you will not hear very often and which really sometimes has strange ways of pronouncation of words.

Personal comments
the accomodation is great at the University especially at Dromroe Village where I stayed. The village is next to the Foundation Building which means I needed 5 minutes to go to my classes. Everything is so close and the atmosphere is great. In addition, the look on Shannon river and great environment (clean without polution from the cars) is great.
