St Patrick’s day is just around the corner and the Irish community here on the Gold Coast, Australia are readying their drinking arms and tuning up their fiddles in preparation for celebrations. There’s a large variety of Irish pubs here on the Gold Coast – so when you’ve finished studying English at the best English school in Australia why not grab your Inforum classmates and head on down to your local Irish watering hole for a pint of Guinness and take in some traditional Irish dancing and folk tunes. Drinking Guinness and learning English are not mutually exclusive activities – It’s a great chance for students to practice their English skills by talking to the locals and enjoying the festivities at the same time.
