저는 겨울방학을 이용해서 3개월동안 에메랄드 문화 어학원으로 어학연수를 다녀왔습니다. 단기 어학연수이기 때문에 지역선정을 하는데 있어서 많이 고민했어요. 원래 유럽에 대한 로망이 있어서 영국쪽으로 가려고했는데, 영국에서 3개월동안 공부를 하기엔 구경하고싶은곳도 많고 공부가잘 안될것 같아서 아일랜드로 정했어요. 영국보다 물가도 저렴하고 공부하기에 좋은 환경이었어요. 3개월 어학연수를 들으면 대부분 일반영어프로그램을 듣게되요. 대체적으로 영어스피킹 수업을 듣고, 문법이나 작문과같은 수업도 들어요. 선생님이 1:1로 지도해주시기 때문에 저에게 부족한 부분에 대해서 꼼꼼하게 지도해주시고 어떤 방법으로 공부하는게 좋을지 잘 알려주셨어요. 한국에서 영어학원을 다니는거나 마찬가지일거라고 생각했는데 전혀 달랐구요, 3개월이지만 1년정도 공부한 기분이에요. 학교는 더블린에 있는데 마을도 너무예쁘고 영화같은 곳이에요. 공기도 좋고 조용하고, 시내에는 번화한곳도 많고 구경할 곳도 많아요. 학교 시설도 굉장히 깨끗하고 최신식이고 고급스러워요. 저는 처음에는 혼자 지내고 싶었는데 부모님께서 간김에 홈스테이를 하라고 하셔서 홈스테이 했어요. 근데 홈스테이 정말정말좋았어요. 가족들도 친절하시고, 아침저녁도 매일 맛있게 해주시고 생활하는데 있어서 굉장히 많이 도움을 주세요. 아직도 홈스테이 가족들과 연락하면서 지내구있구요. 단기어학연수가실 계획이시라면 아일랜드 강추에요.

私は冬休みに3ヶ月間エメルランド文化インスティテュートで語学留学しました。短期留学なので地域を選ぶときにめっちゃ困りました。元々ヨーロッパにロマンがあってイギリスに行くつもりでしたが、イギリスで3ヶ月間勉強するには見学したいところもいっぱいいるし、べんきょうができないと思ってアイルランドに決めました。イギリスより物価も安いし、勉強にいい環境でした。3ヶ月お語学留学を受ける人ならだいたい一般英語プログラムを受けることになります。英語スピーキングから文法、作文まで全般的な英語を学びます。先生は1:1で指導してくれますので自分に不足した部分をまじめにおしえてくれました。日本で英語の塾かよいながら勉強することと同じじゃないかなと思いましたが、ぜんぜん違いました。やっぱり言語はその国で学ぶのが一番だと思いました。学校はダブリンにありますが、ダブリンはすごくきれいで映画に出そうな町でした。私はホームステーをしましたが、すごいいい家族に会って、朝ごはんも寄るご飯も、毎日おいしいご飯食べました。そしてその家族は私が生活するのにすごい役に立ってくれました。まだ私はホームステーの家族と連絡しています。短期語学留学ならアイルランドにいったら~と思いますよね。

愛爾蘭的語言學校,有很多義大利人與西班牙和巴西人唸居多,之外歐洲國家的還有法國人、俄國人與德國人,亞洲國家日本人居多,我也因此交到很多很棒的朋友,也謝謝他們很照顧我。由於都是拉丁語系又國家的地理位置都充滿了陽光,所以大家都非常的熱情,跟他們在一起不禁會被他們歡愉的氣氛給感染,像陽光般一樣給了好心情。

上英文課時,老師的教法不像台灣的教法較硬生生,就算去補習班補英文,也有一種為了升學考試而教,有一種趕鴨子上架的感覺,在愛爾蘭雖然是用英文解釋文法與課程,但奇怪的是反而聽得更懂,老師們都很自然的用他們的語言與邏輯來解釋,會讓英文更加清楚。而課程用一個星期為單位,不會因為教會了就跳下一單元趕進度,而是不斷反覆的練習將那個單元所教的讓學生更熟能收巧的使用。
住宿時,在公共廚房跟不同國家的人一起吃飯一起做飯真的很有趣,義大利人煮義大利麵與做義大利料理、俄國人調烈酒、巴西人做南美的甜點而我就做了幾道台式的料理,大家一起坐在餐桌前聊天放著音樂,吃完後一起看英文字幕的電影,假日一起約出去戶外走走,真的是很幸福的事。
