Well, well, well… look who finally decided to show up—May! The sun’s making cameo appearances, the days are getting longer, and let’s be honest, we’re all feeling a bit less like hibernating hedgehogs and more like social butterflies. Whether you’re still clinging to your coat or already rocking sunglasses indoors (we see you), there’s no denying it: spring has officially sprung in Ireland!
Let’s dive into this week’s warm, wonderful, and slightly wacky edition of SEDA Weekly!

Our amazing teachers and academic team represented SEDA College at the ELT Ireland Annual Conference, connecting with professionals from across the country. They came back buzzing with ideas, insights, and a few too many cups of conference coffee. Growth never stops at SEDA!

☘️ Funny Irish Fact of the Week:
Did you know… there are more sheep than people in Ireland? That’s right—roughly 5 million people and over 7 million sheep. So if you’re ever feeling lonely in the countryside… you’re probably just surrounded by woolly friends!
💬 English Expression of the Week:
“The ball is in your court.”
📖 Meaning: It’s your turn to make a decision or take action.
💡 Example: “We’ve given you all the info about the course—now the ball is in your court!”
Thanks for catching up with us this week! Don’t forget to enjoy the sunshine (while it lasts) and spread those good vibes like butter on warm soda bread. 😄
See you next week – same time, same craic!
