Highlights
Taking a course in a foreign country is fun. It's also exciting to learn in a different environment and to gain knowledge about that country and its people. You can take most of our courses either as a full-time, stand-alone placement, or you can combine short courses or less intensive courses with your main placement - giving you a much broader and even more exciting experience!
Take a formal language course and then practise your new-found language skills in day-to-day living. There is no better way to learn a language than by living and mixing with native-speakers. You'll speak the language when you're out shopping, having a beer with new friends, reading the local newspapers or watching television. You'll find that your language skills will improve in leaps and bounds!
At the same time, you'll learn about a different culture and people and be able to explore the country.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM DOING A COURSE:
** An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into a different culture.
** New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional development.
** An entry on your CV or résumé that will put you head and shoulders above most others in the job market
** And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
