TRAVEL & LEARN
Live it. Love it.
Learn it where it's spoken!
See new things. Discover new food. Make new friends!
By travelling to where it's spoken, you will totally immerse yourself in your chosen language. From morning till night: eat, sleep, study and chat your way to fluency.
There is simply no better way to learn - and have a fantastic time while you are there!

GO IN A GROUP or INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL?
Going in a group:
Travelling with friends or in a school group is really great fun! However, you must remember to make a special effort to practise your newly-acquired language skills outside the classroom too; otherwise your learning will be limited to just 3 hours a day, 5 days a week!
Individual travel:
If you (or your child) enrol on an overseas language course on your own, it will certainly be more challenging. However, you will be using the target language 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - so your progress will be very rapid!
LEARNING A LANGUAGE WHERE IT'S SPOKEN .....
-
Who wouldn't love to communicate effectively in another language?! The benefits are plentiful: for school and exams; at work; for travel; for relationships etc.
-
And, without question, the best way to learn is to immerse yourself in the language: learning it in the classroom; living it outside the classroom; and loving every minute of it!
-
By enrolling on a course in a country where the language is spoken, you will be amazed at how rapidly you improve - in your listening, your speaking, your pronunciation - in everything.
-
And if you travel independently - with no chance to slip back into your own language - you'll get practice and improvement 24/7 !
