About us: CESA Languages Abroad

CESA Languages Abroad was established in 1980 and since then we have arranged language courses abroad for thousands of people, of all ages and linguistic abilities (from beginners to very advanced students with specialised needs). We know all our language schools personally and have worked with the majority of them for very many years. Whatever your query, we can draw on a wealth of expertise to guide you to the most appropriate language course for your needs.

We are established, highly regarded and we love our job. In 2023 we celebrate 43 years of trading.

We believe that helping you find and attend the right language course abroad for YOU, requires our full attention. We do not publish books, own a travel agency or have business interests that would influence the choice of college we recommend. You can rely on CESA Languages Abroad staff for a truly independent and pertinent service.

Whether you are looking for a one week taster or a long term course dedicated to achieving maximum fluency, we have the best programmes to offer you.

Most unexpected request:
A student who wanted to learn French in Tours, but needed access to a church organ, so he could practise his musical skills throughout a 12 week course – all sorted – and the congregation loved his recitals!

Greatest number of extensions:
A Gap Year student who booked for 4 weeks in Florence, and extended 5 times (staying out in Italy in the end for a total of 24 weeks).  Lucky chap to have such understanding parents!

Our oldest student to date:
A lady in her late 70s who studied Japanese with us. She had so much energy for life and languages we were all in awe!
