    Posted: 08 August 2008 at 1:15am
Hello to all! I have been learning English for almost a year and right now I’m taking a curso inglés Madrid – an intensive course in Madrid. I feel I was able to improve my English a lot with this and now I can finally have real conversations and write letters in English. I’m very glad I decided to come to Madrid to improve my English further! The capital and largest city of Spain is such a pulsating place where you meet people from all over the world everyday. Madrid offers everything: amazing green spaces and parklands like the Parque del Retiro, with places like the Palacio de Comunicaciones great monuments to look at and of course a vibrating nightlife! If anyone ever wants to spend some time here, I can definitely recommend it!

I love being able to communicate in a foreign language. Now I’m also a lot interested in different cultures where English is spoken. So I’m thinking of doing another course next year, for example they offer very interesting cursos de ingles en Irlanda! I would like to explore the Irish culture on the largest island in Europe. With this I would actually get the chance to practice my English even more in real life! Which such a different climate and vegetation compared to Spain I am sure it could be an unforgettable time. Does anyone have any experiences with that?

A friend of mine is taking an English course Malta right now, which also seems to be a good option for a language course. For her it’s also the best being able to communicate with locals in their own language. Somehow you don’t feel as much as a foreigner anymore and people really appreciate the effort. What she especially likes about Malta besides the sunny weather, expansive beaches and thriving nightlife is the mixture of so many styles and traditions there.

For me learning English has enriched my life and I definitely want to keep going on with this language! Can anyone give me any other advice on the mentioned places for a possible course or has any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Irish people are notoriously friendly, but you might find the weather cold and damp... Since you're already in Europe, & presumably have a Schengen visa, it might be an idea to get a cheap flight (ryanair, easyjet etc) across & visit before commiting yourself to a long stay.

You'd probably pick up an Irish accent. It's a bit of a minority accent, but I don't think that makes it inferior to the bigger english accents. (Having said that I'm half Irish myself...)

Slightly closer to home you could study in Australia or NZ...
