Language Exchange Ireland

Language Xchange Ireland was founded in 2009 by Con Furey and Kieran Quigley. With backgrounds in business, Human Resources and Health and Safety, Con and Kieran identified an ever-increasing demand for English language programmes that would also provide students with an opportunity to learn ‘Business English’ terminology.

As owners of already established local businesses, Kieran and Con could access a broad network of work placement options in which students could learn terminology relevant to English-speaking business environments. It was from this beginning that Language Xchange Ireland grew into the established business it is today.

In August 2013, Kieran left the company to pursue a senior Human Resources role overseas and Con has continued as Managing Director of Language Xchange Ireland.

Language Xchange Ireland is one of Ireland’s leading language exchange companies. The programmes are tailored to meet the needs of students who wish to gain international English language experience and develop confidence speaking English in a business environment. In addition to learning English in a business environment, their programmes provide an opportunity to develop conversational English in fun, relaxing social environments. They have successfully hosted students from Austria, Italy, Poland, France, Greece, Finland and Norway since 2009. We have partnered many Erasmus+ projects as an Irish Partner
At Language Xchange Ireland, they believe that the very best way to gain English language skills is to be fully immersed in the language, particularly for students who wish to become competent speaking English in a business environment. They design programmes that optimise students’ ability to learn ‘Business English’. The students develop confidence speaking English in a business environment, expand their vocabulary and learn business terminology. A warm welcome, friendly Irish hospitality and their ‘safety first’ philosophy are a cornerstone of their services!
