Why should I book a language study trip and not take a language course at a school near me?
During a language study trip to England, the English language is learned much more intensively than in language courses, which take place once or twice a week. The reason for this is that the language is also spoken in your free time. This means that you learn a language much more intensively than on a language course. It is also much more motivating to be able to use the language skills you have learned immediately after class. Language students really get to know the host country during a language stay, which is hardly possible with a language course in Switzerland. You get to meet new people and have many wonderful experiences that you will remember for a long time. Finally, language students learn to find their own way around and organize themselves in a foreign country, which has a positive influence on the development of their own personality. Many graduates say that they have become much stronger and more self-confident after a language study trip.
Why should I learn English in England and not in another English-speaking country?
In addition to high-quality language schools, England offers beautiful landscapes and wonderful beaches. There are also trendy and vibrant cities with a varied nightlife. England is the country of origin of the English language and "British English" is still regarded as a very cultivated form of English. England can be reached from Switzerland within two hours, which reduces travel costs enormously compared to other English-speaking countries.
What are the most popular destinations in England for language study trips?
The most popular locations for language study trips include London, Brighton, Cambridge Bournemouth and other places. England offers language students a wide range of destinations, from large cities to smaller towns on the coast.
What should I look out for during a language study trip to England?
First of all, you should choose an experienced and well-rated language study trip provider. Together with this provider, the location, accommodation, performance target and a suitable language school should be determined. Another point may be the average age or the composition of the participants. Today there are language courses for teenagers, young adults, families, participants over 40 or for senior citizens. Of course, prices should also be compared, but it is worth paying more for good quality.
How long should a language study trip last so that I can communicate in English?
The ideal duration of the language study trip depends on previous knowledge and performance targets. Many language students choose a language stay of three months after completing an apprenticeship and graduate with the Cambridge First Certificate. However, there are also many people who want to refresh their English with shorter stays or those who want to learn a language really intensively and therefore choose a longer stay than three months.
What costs should I expect for a language study trip to England?
The costs vary depending on the duration and language school. For a stay of three months in England, you can expect to pay CHF 6,000 including host family.
How much pocket money do I need for my stay?
The amount of pocket money depends, among other things, on whether a portion has to be included for meals. For a host family with full board, these costs are naturally lower than for accommodation with half board. It also depends on the planned leisure activities (excursions, shopping, nightlife, etc.). Depending on this, you should expect to pay between CHF 25 and CHF 50 per day.
What else do I need to consider if I want to do a language study trip to England?
The following topics should be considered depending on the duration of your stay:
Job: dismissal, unpaid leave, paid leave, etc.
Apartment: Quit? Sublet?
Travel formalities: An identity card is sufficient for stays of up to three months; a passport is required for longer stays. Validity of the identity card and passport?
Cancel or interrupt other subscriptions (Internet subscriptions, fitness subscriptions, Billag fees for radio and TV connections, etc.)
Have important documents such as identity cards etc. scanned and kept by relatives or friends
