UL Language Centre: Argentinian Students, January 2023

In the first week of January 2023, the University of Limerick Language Centre welcomed another group of students from Argentina. The students, 54 in total, came with Colonias De Inmersion Al Idioma, a longstanding partner of the ULLC based in Buenos Aires, and arrived in stages from 3rd to 25th January. Fresh from winning the World Cup and leaving behind the subsequent parties, and Argentinean summer, the students enlivened the campus in the quiet days of early January. ULLC provided a programme based around language and culture, with the students learning about Irish history, music, cinema, literature, customs and traditions, while also exploring the historical, cultural and sporting ties between the two countries. In the mornings the groups visited the sights of Limerick and environs, taking in Lough Gur, the Milk Market, Bunratty and then seeing Dublin, Cork and Galway at the weekends. They had school exchanges where they shared their culture and traditions with the students they met and they also made great use of the sports facilities on campus, particularly the UL Arena. ULLC looks forward to welcoming more students from Argentina in the coming months.
