Gibt es einen Richtwert für die Höhe des Taschengelds bei einem Sprachaufenthalt in England?
Is there a guideline for the amount of pocket money for a language study trip in England?
How much money you have at your disposal during your language study trip in England and how much you need depends very much on your financial situation and your personal wishes. People who like to do a lot, want to visit every museum, plan excursions at the weekend and are not averse to going to the pub in the evening will of course need far more pocket money than others who prefer to take it easy and spend their free time studying with their host family or in the school residence. Always bear in mind that your pocket money should be money that you have at your disposal, so you don't have to use it to buy your meals or bus tickets. These costs should be calculated separately in your budget. For pocket money to the UK, you can expect to pay around 120 British pounds per week, which is equivalent to around 180 Swiss francs (as of August 2014). For a language study trip to London, however, you should expect to spend much more, approximately GBP 200, or around CHF 300 per week. If this seems too high, consider looking for language schools in England that are located outside of London in a more affordable region and take a day trip to the British capital.
