Family English
Extend your Adult English CourseFamily English
Course Overview
The flexibility of living in with a homestay family and having lessons means that you can divide up your lessons between a whole family. Sometime we teach the Mother and daughter while the Father and son have lessons. Other times it is the children together while Mother and Father take their lessons together. Whatever your circumstance we can accommodate your needs, so that you can have a lovely holiday and also learn English in a real environment.
Who is it for?
Lots of families want to combine a holiday with a language course. Sometimes children are just too young to attend a language course on their own, so why not come with them and take some lessons as well. Would you like to do a language course, experience other cultures and have a great time as a family? We offer you the best opportunity to enjoy all of this in our Family courses.
Key Benefits
- A whole family can enjoy a language holiday
- You decide who in your family has lessons and who doesn’t
- Enjoy self-catering or half board options to give you more time to be “on holiday” with your family
Course Content
The lesson time is divided up between the family members who want to attend classes. We usually pair up so we provided a two to one class, but that depends on the level of English of each family member. Once we know who wants to take classes we design a course to their needs.
