Highly recommended.

I just finished a 4-week English course in Galway, and the experience was very positive.

I'd also like to highlight Manolo's helpfulness, which made the whole process much easier.

Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience.

My experience with LLA was excellent.

Although I was already living in Ireland, they helped me throughout the entire process of studying for my Bachelor's degree in Galway: with the paperwork, the dates, and with every question I had.

They were always kind, attentive, and very clear.

As a Mexican, I greatly appreciate their warmth and professionalism.

My experience at this language school in Galway has been excellent. The teachers are very professional and approachable, and the classes are dynamic and practical.

I felt very comfortable practicing and improving my English every day. In addition, the school organizes cultural activities that help you meet people from different countries and practice outside the classroom.

I recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their English in a welcoming and motivating environment.

Ten years ago, I decided to go to Galway to learn English, and I was lucky enough to meet Manolo.

His service is magnificent: first, from Spain, providing all the necessary information and answering all my questions, and then, upon my arrival in Galway.

When I arrived in Galway, he picked me up at the bus station and took me to my host family's house.

Afterward, he always made sure I was comfortable and even helped me open a bank account.

The school is very good, and the teachers know how to help you learn the language, even if you're starting from scratch.

The host family I stayed with for almost nine months was a fantastic choice, and they're still like a second family to me.

I couldn't be more grateful to Manolo for how he treated me throughout my stay there. Also, thanks in part to him (since I felt so comfortable, I stayed for nine months), I met my wife, the mother of my two daughters, and I still live in Ireland.

Hace ya 10 años que decidí ir a Galway para aprender inglés y tuve la suerte de conocer a Manolo.

Su servicio es magnífico: primero, desde España, proporcionando toda la información necesaria y respondiendo a todas las preguntas que tenía, y posteriormente, al llegar a Galway.

A mi llegada a Galway, me fue a buscar a la estación de autobuses y me llevó a la casa de mi host family;

Luego, siempre se aseguró de que estuviera a gusto e incluso me ayudó a abrir una cuenta bancaria.

La escuela es muy buena y los profesores saben cómo hacer que aprendas el idioma, incluso si partes de cero.

La host family con la que estuve casi 9 meses fue una decisión estupenda y sigue siendo como una segunda familia para mí.

No puedo estar más agradecido con Manolo por cómo se portó durante toda mi estancia allí. Además, en parte gracias a él (que, al estar tan a gusto, me quedé durante 9 meses), conocí a la que hoy es mi mujer y madre de mis dos hijas, y sigo viviendo en Irlanda.

Thanks to Manolo, I had some of the best experiences of my life.

Manolo is a professional, but above all, he's a wonderful person.

You feel incredibly supported by him, and he helps you with anything you need.

It's been ten years since I first went to Ireland, and I'm still in touch with him!

A perfect ten!

Gracias a Manolo tuve en varias ocasiones las mejores experiencias de mi vida.

Manolo es un profesional, pero sobre todo es una buenísima persona.

Te sientes súper arropado con él y te ayuda en cualquier cosa que necesites.

¡Un diez de diez!

It was my first time traveling abroad alone, and he helped me with everything.

Talking to him before traveling to Ireland really put my mind at ease. Whenever I've needed him, he's been there for me.

Me tranquilizó bastante hablar con él antes de viajar a Irlanda. Siempre que lo he necesitado, ha estado pendiente de mí.

I'm delighted with the organization and dedication to ensuring everything runs perfectly.

From the very beginning, they provided excellent support in finding the ideal school and host family for my daughter to learn throughout the year.

And during her stay, Manolo has been incredibly involved in making sure my daughter is happy and comfortable.

In addition to the secondary school course in Ireland, the summer camp was a great help in providing my first contact with a host family and a wonderful experience.

Original (ES)
Encantada con la organización y la dedicación para que todo vaya a la perfección.

Desde el principio, un gran seguimiento para encontrar un colegio y una familia ideales para que mi hija aprenda durante todo el curso allí.

Y durante su estancia, la implicación que está teniendo Manolo para que mi hija esté tranquila y contenta.

Además del curso de secundaria en Irlanda, el summer camp del verano fue de gran ayuda para tener mi primer contacto y vivir una gran experiencia.

The teachers taught the language by combining theory with practical and cultural activities, making learning much more dynamic and easier.
