I am very happy to review this program and share my experience. I traveled earlier this year to Ireland to spend 8 weeks living like a local Irish. One of the first things I noticed was that everyone is very friendly. They say hello to each other at the local store and are kind to each other.

I agree with my mom that this experience was great for me, because it allowed me to get to know another culture and see how local teenagers live in Ireland. We are very thankful to NACEL because they took care of everything, kept communication constant, and helped me plan a great program.

I spent 4 weeks this summer in Canada. It was an amazing experience.
My host dad, Mitch, was great. Together we played golf and went swimming and even took some trips together. I cooked German hamburgers and schnitzels for them, and they cooked BBQs and sausages for me. 
I also met some extended family. We went to Grandma's house two or three times a week to eat, and there I tried great Canadian food. My favorite? Canadian sausages!
One of the highlights of the trip was discovering how much my English had improved since arriving in Canada. We went to see the movie Spiderman fully in English, and I understood most of it, even though it had no subtitles.
If you are adventurous, talkative, and flexible, consider spending a summer in Canada. To me, it was a great way to improve my English skills, make new friends, and learn about a different culture.

Studying German in Germany allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience everyday life. Let's understand how the school system works in Germany. 

Classes usually start at 8:00 in the morning and last about 45 minutes, finishing around 13:00. There are 30-40 class periods each week, with different subjects: two or three foreign languages, physics, biology, chemistry, and usually civics/social studies, mathematics, music, art, history, German, geography, religious/ethical education.

Some afternoon activities are offered in some German schools - mainly choir or orchestra, sometimes sports, theater, or languages.

There are different types of schools, such as "Gymnasium" or "Realschule". The Gymnasium is intended to prepare for the student's education and ends with the Abitur final exam after the 12th grade, most often in the 13th year. The Realschule has a wider range of emphases for intermediate students and ends with the final exam Mittlere Reife, after the 10th grade.
