Staying with a host family is one of the most effective and enriching ways to improve your English — especially if you're an international student or a non-native speaker.
It’s not just about accommodation; it’s about living the language every day, practicing what you’ve learned in class in real-life situations, and immersing yourself in Irish culture through daily conversations and shared meals with your host family.
At EazyCity Cork, we partner with welcoming and experienced families who open their homes — and their lives — to help you feel comfortable and supported from day one.
All our host families are based in lovely and safe residential areas, about 20 minutes by bus from Cork city centre, and well connected by public transport. You'll enjoy the peace of suburban living while staying within easy reach of the city’s language schools and attractions.
Our families are very open and accommodating. If you have any dietary requirements or preferences, just let us know — we’re happy to find the right match for you.
So if you're ready to embrace your Irish experience and make the most of your time in Cork, our homestay option is the perfect way to combine comfort, cultural immersion, and English practice in a warm and supportive environment.

Studying and working abroad for a certain period of time, especially when young, can be very expensive. One of the best ways you can save money is by choosing the right accommodation for you.. In fact, opting for the homestay accommodation option allows you to combine saving some money with many other advantages.
Our team of experts will help you do just that! They will find a Cork host family that suits you, taking into account the smallest details, such as any intolerance or allergies you may have, the type of accommodation and room you prefer, the household composition, the downtown district and more.
Moreover, choosing to live with a host family requires you to speak the local language daily in order to communicate with them. You will strive to do your best when speaking the local language while simultaneously adapting to the different culture and lifestyle of the new country you’re living in… and the mix of these two things will surely make your experience abroad more formative and enjoyable!
Getting out of your comfort zone is challenging but essential. Moving to another country is the best way to do that, whether you’re vacating, working or studying. It allows you to grow on different levels learning about others, their customs and traditions.
While taking advantage of this amazing opportunity, you will have to learn about different cultures and adjust while abroad. Living with a host family abroad is admittedly the best cultural exchange experience you could have, one that you’ll never forget!
Moreover, when you live in a foreign country, away from your family, you can experience difficult moments and feel a bit homesick. Living with a host family will make these moments more tolerable: they’ll be like your second family while living in Ireland. You will receive a warm welcome and they’ll make you feel part of the family.
