Program
The main objective of the program is to practice English as much as possible and to improve your language skills. In addition, you have a chance to learn more about Dutch culture and traditions while spending 2 or 4 weeks in a wonderful city! You will also join excursions, visits to various organizations, bike trips, leisure activities, meet interesting people, and not only improve your English but get an unforgettable experience!
Studying languages abroad is not just a trend, this is the most effective method to learn the language if you want to achieve results in a short period of time. Immersion in the environment is the best way to overcome the language barrier and make a significant break!
General Course
Upon arrival, participants are tested and divided into groups according to their levels. Focus is made on the development of speaking skills and overcoming the language barrier. Grammar is affected as well depending on the group level and capabilities. Our tutors actively use the communicative method when students are encouraged to speak as much as possible.
Classes are conducted 5 days a week from Monday to Friday, 4 academic hours per day. All tutors are native speakers from the UK, USA and Australia.
Business Course
If you want to want to develop your professional vocabulary, we could offer Business Course instead of General Course. The schedule is the same - classes are conducted 5 days a week from Monday to Friday, 4 academic hours per day. All tutors are also native speakers from the UK, USA and Australia.
