About Us
Why We Love What We do.
Real adventures for kids, families, adults or groups. Everyone is welcome.
Our Story
Chris founded Language Farm Ireland after working with an English language camp in Germany. After several years working with The Language Farm learning beautiful philosophies and working with groups, Chris returned to Ireland and twinned with the love of his home country he decided to take the story further and opened Language Farm Ireland. We are entering our fourth season and have a growing community around us.
Our Philosophy
Our programs aim to place you directly in contact with the real nature and culture of Ireland. Immersing you in an environment where you can feel comfortable to try new experiences and learn new things. We are here to guide you through the adventure with trained instructors and experienced staff. All our English language learning is done through ‘learning by doing’ with no classroom time, as the nature of Ireland becomes your classroom. We believe in a sustainable future for our next generations and therefor educate on green lifestyles and proper use of nature for recreation.
