To whom it may concern
Classes are boring 99%
And I know you’re asking about where is the 1%.
The 1% goes to the jokes that Kuwaiti students do in class.
+ The break Time is Short :)
“An Ant Threw her self from the building but she didn’t die why?
She’s wearing a Parachute”
“A piece of napkin is flying why?
An ant wearing hijab”
No more jokes.
Have a nice day beautiful people.

Hallo GCI
I am retired and since many years I am not used to go to school. In 2017 my wife and me visited Ireland. I hardly understood, what the Irish people said. Thats why I wanted to brush up my English.
At the beginning I was very worried about visiting an English course in intermediate level. But GCI offers English courses for elderly people, an efficient organisation and a very friendly stuff too. That helped me a lot to feel comfortable. GCI has also very friendly and best qualified, experienced teachers. These made it much easier for me to learn English again. Within two weeks I could improve my abilities in speaking, listening, writing and reading. And soon I understood the Irish people too, in spite of their accent :-).
I also learned a lot about the Irish culture, about the history, about the nice landscapes and last but not least about the Irish way of life. And I am glad too not to miss famous Irish sports like hurling and Gallic football. That was really great! Also, there were social program activities which I enjoyed.
It just was fantastic, thanks a lot!

Enjoyable GCI life in lovely Galway
This school, GCI, is a lovely school, very welcoming and friendly. Each staff/teacher is experienced and works really hard to help us progress and solve various problems we are facing in order to let us to spend our school days productively. In addition, there are various school activities in this school, such as Pub Night, Day-Trip, and CV writing skills, which are beneficial to improve our English skills, meet new friends, and create lasting memories in Galway.
My life here is much more than I expected and everyone in Galway is amazingly friendly, lovely, and funny.
As a result, I renewed my visa three times, actually.
