The place to go to learn American English, in the USA you will find it all. Head for New York for life in the big apple, Boston for the best of old New England, and Miami or San Diego for that sunny beach life feeling. Walk among the stars in Los Angeles or travel to San Fransisco for its West Coast culture. Find the place which attracts you most, and then go explore.
American language schools vary from small town schools with a personal touch to huge operations with hundreds of students and courses, to University campuses. As each type has its own benefits, explore them in dept!
Get into a sunny mood and head down-under. Great weather year round and that typical Australian touch make for a great, relaxed study environment and plenty of room for exploration. On my last trip I spend quite a bit of time in Sydney and explored the differences between Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. Think summer, beach, fun. You can find great schools in the major study cities (Brisbane, Sydney, Perth), some small, some large. Some small and personal, some great if you are there for a working holiday and need to get a head start.
North America’s best kept secret, Canada is home to some of the worlds largest and most professional language schools. Here the schools do not just grab a textbook from a shelf, they actively develop their own materials, and improve it, year in, year out.
A great environment, both Toronto and Vancouver are often voted as the most livable cities in the world. Montreal & Quebec are the great contradiction, French speaking cities in North America, they have a wonderful feel and lively atmosphere. In Canada you will find students from around the world eager to improve their English (or French!).
The land of Lord of the Rings, bungee jumping, kiwi fruit, great wine and wild outdoor activities is an amazingly relaxed place to learn English. Many great schools can be found on both the North and South islands. I love this place, the weather is not as sunny as Australia, but the friendly people and easy going feel of it all make this a great place to learn.
Auckland and Christchurch are by far the most popular destinations but the more adventurous can find really good schools even in the most remote corners. Supportive homestay families, dedicated teachers and some of the worlds most amazing scenery all come together to give every visitor a warm welcome.
England is home to the English language, and much of its history. Whether it is the white cliffs of dover, the big ben in London, the British Museum, the Queen, the small villages of rural England or Stonehenge this is not a country where you are done sighseeing soon. London is not just ancient, it is also one the worlds most important financial capitals. Travel north to Scotland, and you will find castles, whiskey and Edinburgh. World class universities give access to any kind of advanced studies.
For language students there is much to explore, do and see. Many schools cater for the different kinds of students. Young learners, university students, young professionals and adults learners can all find schools that cater for their particular interests.
