Wie plane ich einen Sprachaufenthalt in England?

If you have decided to go on a language study trip to England, the first thing you need to do is find the right city and the right language school. Ask yourself what requirements the city and the school should meet, whether you would prefer to travel to an exciting big city or a small, tranquil place. The size of the school also plays a role and can range from small, with up to 60 students, to large with over 200 students. The language school in England that you choose should also have a good infrastructure, have common rooms if necessary and be conveniently located. A good mix of nationalities should also be taken into account so that you don't just come across Swiss, Germans and Austrians with whom you can speak German instead of English.

When planning, you should always consider how long you have, how big your budget is and what your goals are. If you would like to prepare for a language exam, you should bear in mind that exam preparation courses, for example for the First Certificate in English (FCE) or other Cambridge certificates, only take place on fixed dates each year, so you should plan your language stay accordingly. These preparation courses also often last longer, usually 10 to 12 weeks, so this will require some planning.

Also think about which accommodation you prefer. If you want to learn English as quickly as possible, living with a host family or even with a language teacher at home is the best option. If your priority is to meet as many new people as possible and to be able to organize your free time flexibly, shared flats and student residences are probably more suitable for you.
