Travel on a Budget

Learning a language in the country where that language is spoken is the best way to learn. Unfortunately it is not cheap. But as everything in life, there are ways of doing it all on a tighter budget. Here are a few recommendations:

1) Time of travel: it is always cheaper to travel outside the peak seasons. Flights tend to be more expensive around school holidays. Some schools charge higher course fees in the summer months.

2) Your chosen destination: choose a destination which you can reach cheaply. Many low cost airlines provide cheap flights to major cities in Europe. It is usually best to book early to get the cheapest fair.

3) Some schools offer cheaper prices than others. It often depends on the location and the size of the school. Ask us for advice.

4) It is of course cheaper to enrol on a standard course than it is on a course combined with an activity or an immersion course.

5) Budget accommodation: some schools offer budget accommodation, many of them require you to share with another student.

Note that prices Experience Language charge are those advertised by the schools. Experience Language does not charge any fees.
