Holidays & learn (1-7 weeks)

A smart holiday: learn while having fun and exploring a new destination

Travel and learn

With courses of 4 weeks on average, you’ll be able to choose the length of your stay from 1 week on and even further customise your experience. You can, of course, opt for a general language course or private lessons, but why not add some spice to it? Combine your language learning with an extra skill, such as sports, cooking or even yoga! On the other hand, if you’re thinking of sitting an official language exam, our exam prep courses are definitely the fastest track towards success.

Short-term language courses

We’re proud to partner with first-class language schools offering a wide range of courses. Whatever your age, goals and level, we have a course for you!

Our students often ask:

Does my course include accommodation?

Yes, ESL can help you arrange accommodation during your language programme. We have a range of choices, including staying with a host family, shared rooms in a student residence and a shared flat with other students or locals. There are also options to book a language course without accommodation if you’d prefer to choose your own.

How many people will be in my language course with me?

This might depend on your destination and the language school you study at, but typically classes will be made up of small groups of approximately 8 to 15 students. This is to ensure that every student has the chance to get personalised help and make quick progress with their language learning.

How many hours of language lessons will I take each day?

Standard courses are made up of 20 to 30 language lessons per week, each lasting between 45 minutes and an hour. We can help you tailor your course to your preference, adapting the number of lessons per week to allow for more free time or increasing the intensity of your language course to ensure sustained progress.
