Dear friends, I have an important doubt and I need your help .
Currently I'm living in Malta, I came here six months ago to improve my English, I love this country but, to be honest, I'm stuck, because I have a lot of Spanish and Malteses friends (who speak in English more or less well but the accent and the grammar are not so good) and I can't practise either. That's why I'm thinking in moving to Ireland or England in August. I'd prefer going to Ireland cause everybody have told me Irish people are so friendly and their English is quite good but, on the other hand, I have to think about the ecomomic situtation there because I need find a job. Other people have told me in England it's so difficult getting a job because they don't like taking Spanish people on and daily life is more expensive there.
Regarding to yours own experiences, which place do you think would be better?

Thanks a lot. See you wherever I'll go.

Hi

I can give you an advice : go to Ireland because it is quite a young country with more oppurtunities.

In England, there is too much concurrency and employers do not take people so easily.

If you want to learn English, don't go to Scotland.

I feel forced to report that post as you were clearly sticking your tongue out at an especially handsome poster.
Namely, me.

I respond with a vicious raspberry.

We have the Barnsley kiss. About the same but slightly more generous.

That would probably be haram.
More so if it was a live one. I could probably be arrested for animal abuse as well.

I would also promote Scotland as I have strong Scottish heritage, there's even a town carrying my surname. However if pressed on making a choice between England or Ireland, I am likely to choose Ireland as I love drinking Guinness and enjoy the Irish people a lot more. Scotland is indeed a beautiful part of the world though.....

Irish people speak excellent English, some of the greatest English writers are Irish (James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats). My brother found when he worked in England that they were impatient when it came to foreign accents, especially on the phone. And yes Irish people are very friendly. Oh and don't rule out Northern Ireland either. It is in the UK but it's just as down-to-earth as the republic.
