How much will I improve as a result of my course?

The Number One Question. This is what the whole thing is about. Firstly, be realistic. If you only give us two weeks of your time do not expect to jump from ordering beer to fluency by the end of your course! Having said that a two week course can give you a great jump start especially […]

Stefania: 24 week Italian Gap Year Course

I have an Italian background but I had little knowledge of the language.  I was looking forward to the linguistic challenge, but  was very nervous and excited.  Definitely felt better prepared for the experience after talking to the CESA staff.

Michaela: 12 week French Gap Year Course

Christian: 6 week Spanish Course

“ I expected quite an academic approach to learning Spanish, in particular with reference to the grammar aspects of learning. I also expected most people to be much younger than me (I’m 35). Linguistically the course proved more challenging than I first imagined – the pace of learning was extremely quick. The other students were […]

Tom: 4 week Spanish Course

Before arriving on the course I hoped that I would be able to achieve a firm grounding in Spanish in preparation for an EU work placement in Barcelona during the Summer. Having not enjoyed languages at school I had only a vague hope that I would be able to communicate in simple Spanish by the […]
