Answer 1

dublin, i guess. james joyce learned there and he was largely respected. and their history is full of great writers. must be a good thing.

no, i really would rather attend the same college that tolkien attended and taught. he created a wonderly entertianing series that will never die.

Answer 2

dublin

Answer 3

I did a study abroad problem in London and it was awesome. The best thing is, everybody speaks English, the night life is great, gorgeous men, loads of culture, very international city, you get to meet so many different people from all around the world and have an opportunity not to just learn proper English but also explore different cultures, and the best thing is London is so close to the rest of Europe. You can easily catch a train and hit Paris in 2 hours. They also have a cheap flight called Ryan Air which will get to many of the capital cities in European countries for such a cheap price if you book it in advance. I would say in terms of culture, history, and travel, London would be your best option.

I have been to Manchester. It's a good city but not as good as London.

I don't know much about Dublin but I was in Australia a few months ago and met lots of people from Dublim. They said they would never go back to Ireland because the weather is always crappy, raining all the time and there's not much to do. I think it's good for visit but hey you are young so I think a big city might be suitable for you.

Try London, trust me you won't regret it :). Anyways, all the best. I'm so excited for you. Be safe and smart.

Answer 4

Dublin?  Cheap?  LOLOLOL  I am absolutely rolling on the floor!  Dublin hasn't been cheap for, like fifteen years!

London.  Not cheap either, but you will learn the clearest British English.  If you come home speaking English with an Irish accent, you're bound to wind up being very difficult for many to understand.  I'm not sure about the slang, either.

Don't get me wrong.  The Irish are GREAT people, and I'm sure Dublin is a great place, but I don't think I'd recommend it for the learning of the language.  DEFINITELY go to visit, though.

Answer 5

Dublin is certainly not cheap.

You will pick up slang/accent wherever you attempt to improve your accent.

Dublin: Everybody speaks English, the night life is great, loads of culture, an international city so you get to meet so many different people from all around the world Dublin is so close to the rest of Europe. London is less than an hour and Ryan Air flies regularly and cheaply. Dublin is an English speaking captial city which is easy to navigate. Contrary to 'popular' belief the weather is not always crappy and it does not rain all the time. It doesn't get very hot and does not get very cold, certainly when compared with central or eastern Europe. The weather can change from one minute to the next which is has inspired the irish culture for centuries.

To say there is 'not much to do' in relation to Dublin is astounding. For an island of relatively small population, Ireland has made a disproportionately large contribution to world literature in all its branches, mainly in English. Poetry in Irish represents the oldest vernacular poetry in Europe with the earliest examples dating from the 6th century. Historic sites predate the Egyptian Pyramids. Contribution to contemporary popular culture goes without saying.

Ince upon a time, the Irish people had a larger Latin vocabulary than the English soldiers' English vocabulary! This is in addition to the Irish people's own Gaelic language. English is of course spoken now. Even from a historical perspective, it is a great place to learn a language.
