In this course, you will have so much fun! Drama classes interspersed with some English classes will be the main theme of the week. You will be taught by a native English speaker in an English-speaking country – what more could you want! Ireland is the place to improve your English while getting to spend time in a country rich in culture, beautiful scenery and great characters.
Classes will be fun and adapted to suit the needs of the group. Participation is key though!
