Wie entscheide ich mich für den richtigen Sprachkurs?

If you want to improve your language skills, there are many different ways to do so. A language study trip abroad is one of these opportunities, which is particularly popular with young people. Combining the learning or improvement of a foreign language with the experiences and challenges that await you in foreign countries, meeting interesting people, learning more about the culture of the country and using the language you are learning in everyday life - all this is offered by an Arabic language stay and is what makes it so attractive.

However, not all language courses are exclusively for young people. There is a whole range of offers aimed at adults or senior citizens, which are available in Switzerland and abroad. The advantages remain the same for all of them, and for professionals, the increased knowledge of foreign languages certainly improves their chances on the job market.

When making your choice, be sure to check how long a lesson lasts and how many hours a week you have of pure teaching time. In intensive courses in particular, participants are expected to work on what they have already learned or prepare for the next lesson through self-study in addition to the classroom time. This should be noted in the documents. The size of the group and the school's infrastructure are also important selection criteria, as are the qualifications of the teaching staff and the type of accommodation.

A placement test should be carried out at all schools so that you can be sure that you will be assigned to a learning group according to your level (A1-C2). You can also find out more about choosing the right school in our guides (see navigation point "Education help" above).
