There are 50+ nations around the world that claim English as their first official language, with another 20+ counting it as a second official language!
If you’re looking for a place to find an intensive English language program that will allow you to connect with nature, consider taking English courses in South Africa. Want to study English while having quick access to wild animals on safari? Cape Town is located on the coast within a few hours’ drive of local national parks.
If you’re an adventure-traveler at heart, consider perfecting your language skills at an intensive English institute in New Zealand. The birthplace of commercial bungee jumping and well-known for its incredible skydiving opportunities, New Zealand is filled with chances to get your blood pumping! Be sure to check out English language programs in Auckland or Wellington.
Looking for the hustle and bustle of city living? Consider any number of intensive English language classes across the United States. Whether you want quick access to celebs and surfing (Los Angeles) or crave the city that never sleeps (New York), there are dozens of unique programs to choose from that all feature a wide range of courses and time frames to fit any budget.
Regardless of where you’re headed, most intensive English language classes abroad feature native language instructors, so the type of program you choose will really depend on your learning style and budget.
Popular courses. If you’re someone who enjoys spending time with others, small-group learning for your English language courses may suit you just fine. Class sizes will typically range anywhere from five to twelve students and usually meet several times weekly. If you’re seeking a more solo experience and your instructor’s undivided attention, consider individualized instruction instead.
What can make your studies abroad more valuable than in your home country? Immersion matters. Hearing native speakers converse with one another, regardless of the subject matter, helps to increase your understanding of the language by providing you with proper grammatical examples while you utilize contextual cues.
Tips to get fluent fast. Practice, practice, practice! This includes not only talking to anyone and everyone at your local farmer’s market and book store, but also trying your hand at reading the local newspapers and magazines, and listening to local radio stations (which will serve the dual purpose of augmenting your skills and keeping you up-to-date on current events).
Due to the high volume of native and secondary English speakers in the world, English is the main language of choice for many business transactions around the globe. If you’re not currently fluent, adding intensive English language classes to your resume will do wonders for your personal marketing and can provide you with a good leg up when searching for your next job opportunity.
However, learning through an intensive English course can come with frustrations. Many English learners lack confidence in their language abilities. Some of this can be attributed to the “irregular” grammar rules of English, which often require those studying the language to memorize a good deal of information.
Not only will it help you in the business world, but learning at an intensive English institute can also be a key factor in helping you to connect with others whom you may never have had the chance to get to know. Due to its ubiquitous nature, it’s not uncommon to find people in all corners of the globe who speak English. In fact, you may find yourself meeting someone in Russia (or Peru, or Malaysia...) and realizing that your only shared language is English!

Program: XUK English Summer School
**My Experience at XUK English** Before I came to XUK English, I was a little nervous because I didn’t know anyone and wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I settled in really quickly and ended up having one of the best summers ever! One of my favourite things about XUK English was meeting people from all over the world. I made friends with people from lots of different countries, and it was really interesting learning about their lives, cultures and traditions. Even though we spoke different languages at home, we all got along really well and had so much to talk about. The English lessons were also much more enjoyable than I expected. They weren’t just about sitting in a classroom and doing worksheets. We got involved in activities, worked together and had plenty of opportunities to practise speaking English. I feel much more confident speaking English now, especially with people I’ve only just met. There was always something fun to do outside lessons, too. I loved taking part in the activities, playing sports and spending time with my friends. The staff were really friendly and made sure everyone felt included. There was always someone to talk to if you needed help, which made me feel comfortable and safe. Another highlight was spending time with everyone in the evenings. We played games, laughed a lot and made memories that I know I’ll remember for a long time. It was also great having the chance to become more independent and do things for myself. Overall, I would definitely recommend XUK English to anyone who wants to improve their English, meet people from around the world and have an amazing summer. I arrived feeling a little nervous, but I left with better English, lots of new friends and so many brilliant memories. I would love to come back again!

Studying French while actually living in France made such a huge difference. I started using the language confidently much faster because I practiced every single day outside class too. Met new people and new cities!
I took the intensive French course and was surprised by how quickly I improved. The classes were challenging in the best way and very conversation-focused. The conversations everyday helped a lot!!!!!
Kaplan gave me much more than language skills. I gained confidence, independence, unforgettable memories, and friendships from around the world. The experience was amazing meeting new friends and places!
The school had such a welcoming atmosphere. I improved my French a lot while also exploring Montreux! It was just a dream walking alongside the lake, it was paradise, reading and hanging there was amazing! Loved every part of the experience
Studying German abroad with Kaplan was the best decision I made. The immersion helped me improve faster than any app or online course I had tried before. And the new friends, activities and all the experience was really dynamic
One of my favorite things about Kaplan was meeting students from all over the world. Every day felt like a cultural exchange while improving my language skills naturally. And the city was amazing! I loved to get to know the city and make tourism in the afternoons and weekends!
The French teachers were amazing and made every lesson interactive and practical. I became much more confident speaking after only a few weeks in Nice. The place, the accommodation, the activities, I loved all the experience!
I studied German in Berlin and the experience exceeded all my expectations. The school environment was modern and international, and the city itself made practicing German super exciting. Everything was lovely!!
Living and studying French in Lyon was honestly a dream. Kaplan made the experience feel very immersive and authentic, and I loved practicing French daily with locals and classmates...................
Program: Language Learning and Cultural Immersion in Tunisia
The school offers a very supportive environment: the staff are kind and welcomed me warmly. The teacher was highly qualified, and the course programme was very clear. I started practising the language from the first week. What I liked most was that the programme was based on real life situations, which allowed me to practise the language outside the classroom as well. People in the school are very welcoming and kind.
Studying with Kaplan was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I improved my English so much faster than I expected, but what I loved most was how international and immersive everything felt. I met people from all over the world and felt like I was truly living the language every day.
Teachers, programs, destinations... everything was great :) I studied French in Nice and the coastal vibes where amazing. You really get to be in an immersive environment and you get know a lot of people!
