About Us

Discover our history and mission

Dana Killalea, founder of Irish in France, is an Irish mother of six, with over 25 years’ experience teaching English in several countries, now settled in the north of France. Passionate about language learning, education, and culture, she firmly believes that travel broadens the mind and enriches the soul, and that learning languages from the earliest possible age is not only achievable but essential.

She has developed a wide network of carefully selected partners in Ireland and works closely with accredited language schools renowned for their academic excellence and the individual care given to every student.

She specialises in finding the programme that truly fits each learner. Language immersion is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Through in-depth consultation and detailed discussion, the most suitable option is identified to match your child’s learning style and linguistic needs.

How it works

Initial Consultation

We discuss your project by phone or in person. Based on your child’s profile—age, language level, learning objectives, and preferences—several suitable options are identified.

Programme Proposal

A tailored programme proposal and detailed quotation are then sent to you by email.

Reservation

You book the programme directly with the Irish language school. A deposit is usually required, with all payments made directly to the school. The school will email you a confirmation of booking.

Flights and Transfers

When you receive confirmation from the Irish language school, you arrange your own flights and send me the travel details, which I forward to the Irish language school to coordinate transfers if applicable.

Final Information

If the selected programme includes host-family accommodation, the family’s contact details will be sent approximately two weeks before departure.

Follow-up

During your child’s stay in Ireland, you may contact me at any time with questions or concerns. After the programme, your child will be invited to complete a feedback questionnaire about their experience.
