Sprechen die Sprachlehrer in England auch Deutsch?
Do the language teachers in England also speak German?
You cannot assume that you or your child will be understood during a language study trip to England if you speak German or even Swiss German. If you are lucky, there will be staff at the language school or accommodation who speak German, but this is not the norm. And it doesn't have to be, nor should it be. After all, you want to learn English and the best way to do that is to be forced to speak the language on a daily basis, outside of the actual English courses. But don't worry, even as a language beginner you can make yourself understood in an emergency, even if it's with your hands and feet. If you are not confident enough to speak only English, you can also opt for a language school where the proportion of German-speaking students is higher, so that you have someone to talk to in your free time. However, you should be aware that the learning effect will be significantly lower.
