I really miss Wexford and want to go back there. I really feel sad because I cannot meet my friends I made there.
Say hello to everybody and thank you very much for everything you did for me and it was a pleasure to meet all of you. I am sure we will be able to meet some day again in the not-to-distant future.

Thank you again for a wonderful time in Wexford. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in the SLC: A milestone in my life comparable to the tremendous standing stones for the preceltic and Neolithic period of Ireland. I improved my English and learnt a lot about the friendliness of the Irish people, about the history, the culture and the ancient monuments fo the stone age and the early Christian age. Thank you – Lisa, Anita, Susan, Emma and Dave – for your consideration and carefully teaching. I miss you! Probably I will come again to Ireland.

Michaela Zimmermann, , Swiss

I have returned to Switzerland but it wasn’t easy to find the re-entry here after that great time in Ireland. I still often think back to my hostfamily, the friendly and helpful teachers and to my friends I made there.
I really want to thank you for all you’ve done for me and thank you too that I had the possibility to meet all those interesting and nice people.
It was such a great time there in Wexford and I’m sure that one day I’ll return and visit you.

Letizia, 23, Au Pair, Italian

My English has improved a lot thanks to your school and Ireland in general and finally I could pass my exams easily!!
I miss Ireland a lot, I really have spent a great time there, and it has been an unforgettable experience. I remember all the pubs and the Guinness… and … lots of good memories…. I’d like to come back as soon as possible.

I had a really great time in Wexford. I can't remember ever having enjoyed myself so thoroughly anywhere! I'd like you to know how much the weeks at your lovely school has meant to me. And I am most grateful to you for your warm hospitality.

Sabine Karwarth, 36, Adult education adviser, Germany

Lisa, thanks again for your warm welcome. You care about your students, that makes your school such a comfortable, intimate and easy-going place. I will recommend the SLC to everybody who want to know and everybody else too.

Sue, I remember a lot of new words and this is due to your expressive way of teaching. We laughed so much. I guess there are only few teachers who fall down on their knees during classes!

Dave, I've never met a person so passionate about literature. From now on I feel more confident about poets. I really enjoyed every single lesson.

Today is my last day in this school and I just wanted to put in black and white the following: It was a real pleasure to spend three weeks of my life here in Wexford but the best of this time was the choice to come to SLC, meet lots of very interesting people and very specially the teachers who show me that learning can be wonderful. And that's all. Just thank you.

Dario Villa, 26, Italian, Consultant

Another Italian guy is leaving...... Just want you to know I had such a great time here with all the beautiful people I met. I think this school really satisfied my expectations and more and more. I'll always remember the nice time spent in the school and in the pubs in town. When I was with teachers I always felt I was with friends, good friends. I wish I could stay here longer but unfortunately I can't. Sorry for my for my handwriting, maybe it's because of my emotions, the feeling of leaving such a good people, such a good and friendly town. We'll meet again, for sure!

Kiyoko Miyazaki, 69, Retired Teacher, Japan

Thank you very much for your kind regards and services. I deeply appreciate what you done for me. Especially I must thank you very much for arranging classes especially for me. I think it was good that I could learn English and other things at your school. I like Ireland, I like Wexford. I feel Ireland was a wonderful place. The air is fresh and clean. There are many open meadows and splendid sceneries. I wish I will be able to come again. For that I'll try to practise listening and speaking English.

Tomiyo Kishi, 70, Retired Teacher, Japan

I appreciate your kindness shown me throughout my stay in Wexford. The classes were rich in variety, and everything was interesting. The cultural activities were wonderful. I enjoyed very much the fresh nature and the historic places. You gave me a lot of new experiences. So my next dream is to learn at the SLC again together with my friend and visit even more nice places in Ireland.

Bettina Brunäcker, Austria (20, chef):

I will never forget the three weeks in Ireland.

Anni Piippo, Finland (41, secretary):

We had an excellent week here in Wexford thanks to you and the Powers (host family). Never before have we felt so much friendliness while meeting new people and living in a foreign country.

Sabine Fehl, Germany (31, English teacher) and Andrea Fuchs, Germany (31, English teacher):

Two weeks of `refreshing` our English . We learnt a lot (not only drinking Cider, eating sandwiches and buying silly things but also words, structures and more). Most interesting were the social contacts. Thanks for everything and do not change too much!

Jose Carlos Marco Alba, Spain (31, product manager):

I have spent four weeks in this lovely, green & sometimes rainy country and I could understand the local culture thanks to my host family and the teachers in St. Helen`s Bay Language School (new name: The Slaney Language Centre).

Elke Niederreiter, Austria (19, shop assistant):

In these three weeks I have the chance to learn English very well and I am enjoying it!

Bernd Raute, Germany (55, lecturer):

We have had two interesting weeks with many good activities. Lisa organised many things so we had much fun after school. A walk at the beach is very beautiful in this area.

Marianne Igel, Germany (58, housewife) and Margot Kircher, Germany (59, primary school teacher):

We enjoyed our lessons as well as the relaxing walks along the beautiful sandy beach. We could not only improve our English but could also learn a lot about the nice landscape and the Irish mentality. We liked the atmosphere in the pubs as well. Surely we are returning to Wexford and the language school (new name: The Slaney Language Centre) next year.

Christoph Effing, Germany (33, geographer):

I want to give Sue a pat on the back for these funny nice lessons (great ideom, isn`t it?). It was a good mixture of leisure, culture and learning with lovely people. I will remember this time with laughter on my lips. (… they did not give me a backhander).

Bruno Eggmann, Switzerland (35, sales manager):

I would like to thank you again for everything. It was really a good, interesting and instructive time. I hope that I can come back soon.

Erich Moser, Germany (27, canoeing instructor):

I enjoyed a really nice time here in the language school. The people are very friendly. The landscape from Ireland is beautiful and I was lucky with the weather. Until now I had just one rainy day. The trips were also very exiting. Hope to come back in my next vacation.

Carlos Borja Etayo, Spain (33, dentist):

I have been very happy in this school. I would like to come back again next year. I think that I learned too much English here. People are very friendly in Ireland. Lisa is the best manager in Germany, Ireland and Spain!

Victoriy Borja Etayo, Spain (37, solicitor):

Me too, I have been very happy in this academy. I have learned a lot and also I have enjoyed myself too much but I think I need to learn more and probably the next year I will come back. It is true. Thank you for all.

Willy Hartmann, Germany (52, bank manager):

In the time here I learned a lot of things: English grammar, verbs, business words and business details. I also enjoyed the Irish culture, the day trips, the pubs and the Guinness. Thanks Lisa, Jennifer and Sue for all the help and a good time for you!

Helena, Loni, Erika, Eva, Marianne, Paula, Ursula, Walter, Jo (course for people over 50):

We will thank you very much for a wonderful time in Wexford for all the beautiful and interesting trips through the Irish country and the eventful evening arrangements. We enjoyed learning English and we will like to recommend in to other people. Thanks from all of us.

Peter Böhringer, Germany (53, teacher):

It was nice to be here in your language school. It was individual - I like this - not too big and you were so `much giving`. I thank you. I wish you for the next time a lot of students and a good new house in Wexford.
