Demi-Pairs
Demi-Pairs play an important role in Irish family life and everyone benefits! Demi-Pairs improve their English language skills and our families receive a much needed helping hand around the house! Our economical and professionally run Demi-Pair programmes operate all year round.
Living English places Demi-Pairs in carefully selected and personally visited families in the Dublin area - this economical exchange programme enables Demi-Pairs to attend English Language Tuition in the mornings and to assist in the family home in the afternoons/evenings for 20 hours per week and 2 nights' babysitting per month in exchange for full board accommodation in a single room in the family home.

"At the first moment I was afraid about every thing: the family, the school, the program... but Living English answered all my questions. My Host family was incredible nice, they've had a nice relation with me all time, and they made me feel at home. About the school, the teachers was very profesional and friendly. In spite of the weather that sometimes could be uncomfortable (for someone as me from Canarias) I found come to Dublin to study English a nice experience and I recomend to every body Living English as a good reference school."

"The experience of being a Demi-Pair and live a few month in an English speaking country is something I can draw on my whole life. To live in and with another family is great, because you see another culture, typical behavior and other ways of life at first hand. And you meet a lot of people from other countries, which is always a lot of fun!"
Hanna, Germany (Demi-Pair)
