It was in the mid seventies. The school was small and familiar, teachers and students mixed together and we had great fun.
I am glad it has improved so much, but as the song goes "I remember Dublin School in the rare old times."
Great memories.
Aurora O'Connor, Madrid, Spain.
(Thanks Aurora - hope to see you again soon.)

Welcome to the DSE
The DSE is a large family run language school that specialises in providing high quality courses at great prices.
We have been operating since 1968 - over 40 years, we'll be here for another 40 years!
Because we are an independent school, we can give you the personal attention you need - just ask.
We are based in the centre of Dublin City in the Temple Bar area - Dublins vibrant cultural quarter.
We are recognised by the Irish Department of Education and Science (through ACELS) and founder members of Marketing English in Ireland (MEI).
Come in and have a look around, register, test your level of English, ask one of our teachers a question, browse our courses and perhaps we will get the chance to welcome you to the school in person some day!

A Student Review
My experience in Ireland by Angela Ghezzi (Italy)
I decided to come to Dublin because I wanted to study English.I think that it’s the most important language in the world.
My cousin was here last year and he has enjoyed a lot here.He told me to try this new experience,so I did it!
Dublinia & The Viking World
by Morgan.
Morgan is on our teaching staff and regularly accompanies students on our Tour, Social and Activity Programme.
So how do you give a group of kids an idea of what life was like in Dublin hundreds of years ago in a way that is both entertaining and historically accurate? Bring them to Dublinia and The Viking World, of course. This fantastic and recently renovated heritage centre in the heart of medieval Dublin guides those eager young minds through the colourful history of this city from the arrival of the Vikings in 841 to its falling into the hands of Strongbow and his Normans in 1170 and culminating in the dramatic closure of the monasteries under Henry VIII in the sixteenth century.

Review of the Ireland vs Italian soccer match on Wednesday April 1st 2009
Many thanks for Roberto for his review of the match (pity it wasn't a better match for either Ireland or Italy!)
Before the match started the two coaches gave each other a friendly hug. When the National Anthem started Trapattoni started to cry although I do not thisnk that he wanted that to happen.
After 3 minutes the referee saw Pazzini hitting an Irish football player with his elbow. This was not intentional but the referee still sent him off. He was probably frightened of the sight of the blood streaming from O'Sheas face. After 10 minutes Italy managed to score even though they were one player down. Italy kept this lead up to the very end and then Keane scored a goal.
I think that we put up a good defence against Ireland. The Irish seemed to have more difficulties in their game, in particular they did not seem to have players capable of avoiding other players.
I believe that the whole match was influenced by the German referee.I do not think that he understood anything about the match.He was probably watching another match!!

Hot Town, Summer in the City
by Jack Quinn (with apologies to The Lovin' Spoonful!)
Well, it looks like the summer has passed us by once again, and though, as usual, it felt all too short, we still managed to squeeze a whole lot of fun out of it…
The Dublin School of English summer centre was hopping with students of all ages from all over the world out in St Andrew’s College by the sea in Booterstown. English classes in the morning were followed by an extensive programme of activities and excursions. The great thing about St Andrew’s campus is its sports facilities. With all-weather football pitches and tennis courts, an enormous gym, a hall for drama or concerts and a fully-equipped arts and crafts room, the students were kept busy in the afternoons.
