Lerne ich bei einem Sprachaufenthalt wirklich mehr, als in einer Sprachschule in der Schweiz?

Even if you opt for a language course in London where you only have four lessons a day, you will learn more in two weeks than in five months at a language school in Switzerland. This is partly due to the fact that you have lessons five days a week, of course, but mainly because you will continue to speak English after the English course. You are usually forced to speak English, be it with your teachers, fellow students, sales clerks or the waitress in the pub. The more you do and the more you talk to other people, the more you will learn and the more you will be able to apply what you have learned in class. So make sure, however tempting it may be, that you don't only have contact with Swiss, Germans or Austrians during your language study trip to London, but look for people with whom you need to speak English in order to understand each other. If you want to learn English as quickly as possible, staying with a host family is the best option. This way, you will hear the foreign language from morning to night and also get to know the British way of life. Joint activities and excursions in the evenings or at weekends are often organized and carried out together, so that you are not only supported linguistically, but also socially and culturally.
