Language schools all year round abroad

I want to study at the University of Cologne (I am 19 years old). Where should I start preparing for admission?

Most often our clients start studying in Germany with language centers and schools. This is the key factor in preparing for admission. We will help you get in touch with our partners and choose the most suitable educational institution, gather documents and fill out the application, pass all entrance exams, and obtain a student visa. The admission process is multi-stage and takes quite a lot of time, but we are always in touch with you and help resolve any issues.

We are looking for a good school in Cambridge with English language courses, particularly interested in winter vacation programs (lasting 1-2 weeks). In addition to language lessons, the program should include excursions and recreational activities. What options are available for a 14-year-old?

There are many such programs available on our website. However, the majority of them are held not in Cambridge, but in other cities and centers. You might want to consider the option of studying English with a teacher's family (note the Home Language International program).

I would like to find a quality English course for adult beginners. I am 35 years old and have never studied English before. I would really like to go to Ireland.

Of course, in Ireland, as in the rest of the United Kingdom, there are many language schools and courses with programs of varying degrees of difficulty. It will not be difficult to find an option for a beginner.

However, please note that obtaining an Irish visa is a rather complicated and lengthy process, especially for adult students. You must pay for the entire course in full before applying for a visa, and you must clearly justify your desire to learn the language. That is, you must provide compelling personal and career reasons, rather than simply stating that you ‘want to learn for yourself.’ For example, you can indicate that you plan to work for a foreign or international company, are applying for a promotion, or want to go abroad for a long course of study (e.g., higher or second higher education). There is also a risk that if you do not have at least a basic knowledge of English, you may be refused permission to attend language courses in Ireland. The visa officer may consider that if you have not studied the language before, there is no particular need to do so now. The same problems may arise with obtaining a general British visa.

If your application is refused, you will most likely be offered language courses in your country to start with. We recommend that you learn English in more welcoming and accessible countries, such as Bulgaria or Malta.

I want to find language courses of sufficient length to be able to live in London. Which schools and courses can you recommend, and what is usually the duration and cost of such studies?

Our consultants are ready to help you find a suitable educational institution and course based on your needs which you have outlined quite clearly. For an initial overview and preliminary selection, you can visit the section of our website offering language schools in London. For example, we can recommend:

We would like to find language courses for adults (35 years old) in Switzerland. We are interested in the French-speaking part of the country, ideally language centers associated with universities, and we would like to start in October (if possible). Unfortunately, our level of French is zero. Are there any program options lasting 3 months or more?

If you have zero knowledge of French, you will only be able to attend university-affiliated courses during the summer, as the other academic programs are designed for at least beginner or intermediate language levels. You can review the descriptions of several centers that we recommend for your situation:

We are looking for courses for our son (he is finishing 11th grade). We need an English language program in England for the autumn holidays – preferably for one week, but two weeks is also possible.

We can offer several options for language centers and camps in different regions and cities in England. Arrivals take place on Sundays in October-November, and the minimum duration is exactly one week. For example, an ideal option would be Bell St. Albans Language School.

Are there any English language study programs (advanced level) for a 15-year-old child? I am interested in the autumn holidays in London, that would be an ideal option.

In the suburbs of London, there is an excellent and popular international center, Bell St. Alban's, OISE Newbury. There are quite a few options, so you will have plenty to choose from. We also recommend considering the possibility of studying English while living in a teacher's home. This is a great option for in-depth language learning. Remember that a British visa takes at least 3 weeks to process, so this matter needs to be addressed in advance.

My language level was assessed as Pre-Intermediate/Intermediate, but I feel that I still haven't completely overcome the language barrier and I experience difficulties with vocabulary (the vocabulary is clearly insufficient). Can I find suitable courses in Malta with this level? I am interested in two-week programs (but longer ones are also fine), and I can start in October or a little later. Are there any options with the best combination of price and quality?

We can definitely recommend the language centers EC Malta and InLingua Malta. They are among the best in Malta and offer effective and balanced programs (including starting in September-October). Obtaining a visa for Malta takes about a week and should not make any difficulties.

Do you organize online education?

Yes! Our specialists are ready to select a remote program for you with a British teacher, and the lessons are conducted online.

I am a third-year student majoring in Finance and Credit, studying English and German (but I do not have international certificates confirming my proficiency). Can I transfer and continue my studies at the University of Munich?

Yes, it is possible. You should start specifically with language preparation. Admission to German universities, and especially translation, requires a TestDAF certificate with good scores. We can organize a trip for you to intensive German courses, help gather all the documents, and fill out the application.

Please recommend a language center near the sea or ocean, with the possibility of beach recreation! I am interested in learning French during the summer holidays. I am 19 years old.

First of all, we recommend language centers in the famous and popular resort of Antibes – a wonderful beach vacation and complete language immersion are guaranteed! For example, Atoll Antibes.

Are there English courses at Oxford University? Can a 15-year-old attend them, and are there summer programs? If this is not possible, please recommend a good alternative.

Oxford University itself does not organize summer language courses, it only rents out its premises to other institutions and language schools. Education at these courses is high-quality and effective, but they have no direct affiliation with Oxford. We can recommend the following centers:

I want to enroll in long-term English courses in Canada for six months to two years (with a homestay). I am 40 years old, a citizen of Uzbekistan, with a higher education degree in philology, and I have two Schengen visas and two US visas. Where should I start preparing for the trip?

You will need a long-term student visa. The process of obtaining it is quite complex, but in your case, it is possible. You must convince the consulate of the following:

  • The course you need is offered only in Canada.
  • You have sufficient funds for your extended studies and living expenses (tuition is paid in full before submitting the visa application).
  • Your family (if applicable) also has financial resources while you are away.
  • You have a stable and reliable source of income in your home country.
What do you need to know to study English in Canada?

You can familiarize yourself with our catalog, in the section Language Centers of Canada. Keep in mind that the visa application process can be quite lengthy (2 weeks to 4 months). If visa-related issues turn out to be too difficult for you, we can recommend courses in the UK, the UAE, or Ireland — they are just as high in quality and effectiveness as the Canadian ones.

Which English courses in England would you recommend? The age is 18 years, English level is Intermediate?

There are many good and well-rated schools, and a whole section of our website catalog is dedicated to them. We can recommend excellent London centers:

I am looking for English courses in England for adult students. Please specify the cost including all fees and visa expenses. I need a 4-week program with accommodation and meals in a host family.

You can choose almost any city and region in the country – both group and individual courses are offered everywhere. In our catalog section dedicated to language courses in England, you will find many options and can compare their costs. For your convenience, we indicate the number of weeks, type of accommodation, and all additional fees and expenses.

Which spring English courses for the holidays can you recommend for a 15-year-old student? I am mainly interested in England.

There are excellent effective courses for the Easter holidays, take a look at:

I want to choose a language course in Malta for April-May. I need English lessons for beginners.

Among the quality schools with proven reputations, we can highlight InLingua MaltaEC MaltaLinguatime Malta, and Chamber College Malta. If you are just beginning to learn English, choose the classic General English course. Its minimum intensity is 20 lessons per week, but we recommend taking 30 lessons to achieve faster and more significant language progress. Our specialists will help you select the most suitable program based on your age, accommodation preferences, and academic requirements.

I am planning to study French in France almost from scratch. Which program and school can I choose so that my son (7 years old) can go with me?

Similar programs are available at the Accord Center (Paris), they are designed for summer study. You can study English at any time of the year while living with a teacher who is a native speaker – such programs are offered in many cities in France and Switzerland (where French is also widely spoken).

What courses can you recommend for spring break in Britain (for an 18-year-old student)?

Most language schools and centers accept children from the age of 16, so you have a wide range of options to choose from! For your age, we can recommend General English or Academic English programs. Courses are available at reputable schools such as:

I am looking for English language courses in Malta or the UK, preferably lasting 2-3 months (I do not have a visa yet). I am 26 years old, my level is Pre-Intermediate. What can you recommend to me, and what is the cost of such programs? Is there an option for home-based learning with accommodation with the teacher's family?

First, you need to determine the purpose of learning English and then choose a suitable program. It can be academic or business English, preparation for international exams like IELTS or TOEFL, or Professional English. You also need to choose the appropriate lesson intensity for you (20, 25, 30, or more lessons per week), the cost of the course largely depends on these parameters. Among budget options, we can recommend InLingua or EC (Malta), OISE London (UK), and language colleges in England far enough from London (which positively affects the price). Home studying with a teacher's family can be chosen both in the UK and in Malta, and such opportunities are quite widely available. But keep in mind that its cost will be higher (since individual rather than group lessons are organized here). On average, you can expect costs starting from 1000 euros per week, this is a reference amount, of course, it can vary depending on many factors. Pay attention to the Home Language International program.

In order to obtain the desired visa, you need to prove your financial stability and the presence of a stable source of income, as well as justify your desire to study English abroad in the chosen country.

I want to choose an English study program in England for a duration of 2 months. I am 26 years old, officially employed with a fairly high “white” salary, and I have two higher education degrees. I have never obtained a UK visa, but I regularly get a Schengen visa, and I have never had any problems with consulates or embassies. Ideally, I am looking for a mixed program: conversational and business English, group lessons in small groups, and individual lessons (at least 5 per week). Regarding accommodation, comfort is more important than price. Preferably a residence (a separate studio with a kitchen and no meal plan), with cleaning and linen change, and ideally the possibility to have guests. I can also consider renting an apartment or flat. Please advise me on the cost.

A suitable program is available at the London school of English, Hampstead School of English London. The standard option includes 10 individual and 15 group lessons (classes of 6 people). Additionally, you can book other programs: business English, professional English, IELTS or TOEFL preparation, and more.

Our specialist will help you choose an appropriate accommodation option based on your specific requests: standard category apartments that meet your requirements cost on average £1,200-£2,500 per week.

My son is currently 14 years old. We would like to send him to study at an international school in English in a year. At the moment, from our point of view, his language level is insufficient. Which courses would be the most effective for preparation?

The optimal selection of a preparation program for an English school depends on the child's current language level. If the level is closer to B1, it makes sense to consider academic programs where, in addition to English, the child can also study school subjects in English. If you are not yet confident in your abilities, the best option would be to choose a camp with intensive preparation (from 25 hours of English per week). Before the child's arrival, they will be tested and placed in the appropriate group. Such a program will allow the child to improve their language level most effectively in a short period of time.

I am currently studying in the 10th grade. I would like to apply to a university in England. I took a practice IELTS test and scored 4.5 points. Could you advise me if I can attend a special language program to prepare for university admission and what IELTS score is required for university admission?

You need to primarily focus on the IELTS preparation program. To enroll in a Foundation preparatory program, universities usually require a certificate with a score of at least 5.5, while the threshold is slightly lower for international colleges. The most effective solution would be to take specialized IELTS preparation courses, which typically last from 4 weeks. Good options for IELTS preparation programs are offered in the UK and Cyprus. You can take the exam on-site or in your home country.

I am 35 years old and would like to go on a language program with my child (7 years old). In which countries are such programs available? How does the learning process work?

Similar programs are offered in the United Kingdom and Cyprus. In the United Kingdom, we recommend paying attention to Moreton Hall School. The children's program accepts children from the age of 3, and the school offers flexible program options for adults. You can choose various levels of intensity. Additionally, a parent can live together with the child and participate in activities and excursions. In Cyprus, a good option would be the school English in Cyprus. Before the start of the program, both the child and the parent are tested to determine their language level and are placed in the appropriate group.

My daughter is currently in her second year of the GCSE program at a British school. Are there any special language schools in England where a child could receive additional preparation for exams during the holidays?

Yes, such programs exist. Specialized courses for exam preparation are called Revision Courses and are usually held during the spring holidays. These courses are offered at some British boarding schools, where children can also stay during the program.
