I'm trying to work on my Irish language skills. (I'm an American.) And I was wondering if there were any organizations that allowed students to travel to Ireland and live with a family in an Irish-speaking community. Thanks.

go to your university housing office and ask for homestay listings. they will assist you in finding the right family. i did that in undergrad school in california.

Hi there, Basically, there are two options: 1) Find a host family on your own, for example at http://www.homestaybooking.com/homestay-ireland, or at http://www.homestayweb.com/euhome.html 2) Enrol in an Irish course in Ireland with homestay. One of these programmes is offered by Languages Abroad, available at http://www.languagesabroad.com/livelearn.html Another one is the one offered by the Lehman Institute, but it's designed for complete beginners: http://www.lehman.edu/lehman/irishamericanstudies/NUIG06.htm I hope this helps for a start! Cheers S
