Bonjour. Hola. Witam. Kon’nichiwa.

Finally, holidays. Time for a little change.

Have you ever thought about a language course abroad? We've compiled some questions and answers that can help you make your decision and prepare.

What language do you want to learn? Where should you go?

Depending on which language you choose, the selection of countries can be easier or harder – you have plenty of options.

English is so universal that you can decide to go to the UK, or you can travel around the world – be it Australia or the USA.

What can help you with your decision? The people, the culture, and the country you are going to should excite you – the more you want to discover and get to know, the easier it will be for you to adjust during your trip.

Alone or with friends?

In your courses, you will always meet new people, and friendships will develop. Whether you travel with your best friend or alone – don't worry, you won’t be lonely. :)

Travel, accommodation, meals, classes – It’s all about the money!

The scope and organization of your language trip is very individual. Depending on whether you live with a host family, in a hotel, or even in a boarding school. You can decide in advance how much budget you need for food, drinks, and other expenses.

If you choose to do your language trip only during the holidays, your lessons are often more intense than during a trip over several months. However, you will still have enough free time to explore the country, its people, and its culture.

General language or academic? Good, better, best?

You’ve already found your reasons for choosing a language trip, and this will make your decision in the course jungle much easier.

If you haven’t finished your degree yet and want to build or completely learn a language, a general language course is just right for you. You will intensively learn the language and get everything you need to communicate, interact, and understand others.

Do you want to focus more on your degree? Then the course should prepare you for your professional future, so that you can communicate well both in everyday situations and in a university or work environment.

The academic courses give you the opportunity to go even deeper into listening, speaking, and writing skills, especially for career or university contexts.

On top: Do you want to study a language later? You can also take advantage of various opportunities to prepare perfectly, such as a Multi-Language Year, where you visit three destinations and learn their languages.

Last but not least: How do you fit everything into one plan?

Of course, you can customize your trip and stay completely on your own. There are numerous online platforms and websites that offer all possibilities, from accommodation to language courses.

If you prefer everything in one package, then a travel agency is just right for you. They take care of your travel, accommodation, and language course. Depending on your choice, you get a comprehensive service package and always have someone to contact if needed.

Education First EF has also introduced a really cool offer on scoolio: You can win a language trip! How awesome is that, especially when you save the money?!

We're definitely a little jealous of this opportunity and would be even more excited if you sent us a postcard from the sunny side :-P
