What they say
Parents Feedback
Good morning,
I have no words to thank you for the great experience my daughters have had.
I'm going to be honest with you, my daughters had never left home, they had never traveled by plane, they had never been without their parents, and this adventure for me has been more than perfect! Stephanie, John, Emma and Charlotte have not been a host family, they have been YOUR REAL FAMILY during these days.
My daughters have come excited by everything they have experienced there with their family, by all the love they have received, by all the time they have dedicated to them, by all the things they have taught them, by all the English they have learned! ,
I am very happy and they are much more so, and of course they are looking forward to returning!
Thank you again!
Dear Mary,
My daughter has returned enchanted your wonderful summer course, perfectly organized for you. It has been a great experience to improve her English and to meet another foreign teenegers as well. In fact her younger brother is wishing to do the same course in a couple of years.
I want to give you special thanks to your husband John, your son Michael and of course to you Mary for caring of our daughter Carolina.
Hi Mary
We have spoken with Filippo, and he was very enthusiastic of his irish experience.
He had known new boys and girls, of different countries.
He had found interesting the activities during the course, in the morning and in the afternoon.
His host family has been available, friendly and kind.
He was able to talk a lot with Fiona, her children, and other guest of the house.
Amazing experience for him
Thank you Mary
Dear Mary,
Thanks again for the great organization of the course, Alvaro had a great time and really enjoyed the experience as well as living with the other kids, especially his Italian housemates.
We would also like to thank Eadaoin and Shane for welcoming our son so well in their home and for their courage to host four teenagers together in their house.
We hope you also have a very happy summer too!
Kind regards.
Alberto and Belén,

Hello Mary,
sorry for the delay in my reply. Margherita came back very happy and satisfied with this year's experience.
The only slightly sad note is that next year she will have turned 18 and so this was the last year with your big family.
Thank you for all the support you have given us over the years, especially the first one which was very difficult for Margherita and for us at home.
Best wishes

Je suis partie en séjour linguistique à Limerick en Irlande pour une durée de 3 semaines. J'avais cours sous forme d'activités jusqu'à 15h puis 1h de sport. Le soir on avait des activités et une soirée disco tous les vendredi. Le samedi un voyage était organisé par l'école et le dimanche nous étions avec notre famille d'accueil.
Hi Mary,
We thank you all for tour hospitality and kindness.
Giacomo has particularly appreciated the quiteness and magic of your wonderful landscape!
Being away from the chaos of our cities is a sort of medicine for our youngs' soul.
Moreover he could experience the warmth of his host parents which helped him becoming more self confident and open minded.
THANKS FROM US ALL

I am writing to thank you for all the help and understanding you, the O'Grady school and Margaret's family have given to our daughter in last two weeks. The beginning difficult, due to homesickness and sadness, thanks to You, have turned into an unforgettable and important experience for her growth. This experience is a great victory that will help her a lot. She is very happy with herself for having succeeded and having lived to the full what you have offered. Thanks for everything, you are wonderful. I am sure that the good you do will come back to you. Best wishes from Italy.
Dear Mary, Thank you very much for making Javier’s trip to Ireland a great experience. He has enjoyed every minute and no complains at all. What can I say about Fiona and her family? Wonderful people!!! Javier has felt as at home or even better. I’ve been in contact with Fiona these weeks and her feedback has been exceptional. Thanks a lot for choosing such a great family!!! Kids have enjoyed not only the time spent with the family but also at school and all the other activities planned by you and/or the family. Remarkable experience not only for Javier but also for my husband and myself who have felt Javier has been in good hands all this time. Thanks a lot!!! XXXX

Hello Mary,I wanted to congratulate you for organising the camp in all its facets, displacement, classes at the Institute, family especially, etc. Irene has enjoyed with you and in addition to learning the language has been an unforgettable experience for her. Philomena family has been great with our daughter and she has felt at home from the first moment he has made us know that he wants to return next summer. Thank you very much for everything, our daughter has been delighted to be part of your community by these three weeks, you liked what you saw and has caught much affection to her Irish family and Laura. Best wishes.
Hello Mary, At the end of the period our sons have spent with you, we want to thank you so much for the experience you allowed them to live. They are very happy about their experience in the school and with their families, and we also are happy about it.
Dear Mary, We have to tell you that we are very happy, Laura specially, with this awesome experience. Laura has improved her English and, the most important, has spent wonderful days in Ireland despite the obstacles at the beginning (homesickness, physical discomfort...). Specially important to reach this goal has been the help of her family. Laura feels really like at home. Laura never will forget those days passed beside them.
Dear Mary, We really appreciate your hospitality and the successful organization of all the activities of your Summer English Camp.
Alicia spent 15 gorgeous days!. She´s still delighted with all the things, friends and family and of course you. (She couldn´t stop talking all the time!!!!). When she arrived at the airport she couldn´t stop crying saying goodbye to her friends! These teenagers...
Regarding the family she has felt as part of the family. Sheila has been like a real mother for her. Of course she´s going to repeat next year (not sure if 2 or 3 weeks). We´ll talk again in November. Thank you very much. Although having a young daughter abroad is hard, with you it has been easier!
Dear Mary, First of all we want to sincerely thank you, and all the people of your organization (and obviously the host family), the pleasant and well organised time that our son spent abroad in Ireland for the first time. He returned with a warm feeling of friendship and gratitude to you all, and it has been for him a totally positive first experience, as we wished. He liked the teacher at school, and the family took care of him as a new family member, with daily attention, care and good food!, that made him feel very at home. We are all very grateful for that. We will also write an email to them personally.
Dear Mary, Thank you very much for everything!!
Our son, Juan had a wonderful time in Ireland, he was so happy and says his family was the best one!!
We are really grateful, he will travel again with you next year, that´s for sure!!
Thank you so much for all you have done for Alice. It was a very positive experience from all points of view.
Alice would like to return next year, we hope.
Hi Mary, We thank you very much for the hospitality and the kindness. Anna has been very well with you and it has been a beautiful experience. So……………THANKS!!!!!!!!!
