Sunny Language Courses for the Winter
Courses we recommend over the winter months:
Christmas Courses in Spain: A lovely course taking place during the Christmas week in Barcelona, Madrid, Marbella, Tenerife, Vejer and Salamanca. The course consists of Spanish lessons and activities around the Christmas theme. This is a one or two week course.
French and Ski in Annecy and Chambery: A great course combining a French course taught Monday to Friday in the mornings and two full day sky trips over the weekend.
A Level Revision Courses: A good way to revise for your exam and give you the confidence you need to perform to the best of your abilities. We offer this course during the February Half Term and at Easter.
"I had a great time in Bordeaux which is a lovely city. I felt I gained experience of the French way of life and increased my confidence in all aspects of the French language. I was made to feel very welcome by my host family." Fiona on the A Level Revision Course in Bordeaux.

Ca marche? Non, ça court!
You probably know the verb marcher meaning to walk. Did you know that marcher can also be used colloquially to say that something work or doesn't work.
Comment ça marche? How does it work?
Pourquoi ça marche pas? Why doesn't it work?
Ah voila, ça remarche. Ah it is working again.
Fonctionner would be a better way of saying that something works.
If you hear someone use marcher instead of fonctionner, you can tease them and say: Ca court? (ie, is it running?)

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.

Stay in Touch the Cheaper Way
How would we cope without our mobiles phones? Whether for texting or calling they have become a very useful little gadget.
But when abroad ....
Mobile roaming fees are frightening. It is thus worth doing a bit of research before your trip or your child's trip to see what is the best way for you to stay in touch. Note that most language schools have internet access so it is easy to check emails. Most host families have a landline which you or your child can use for incoming calls (within reason).
For those of you who do not need to call or text much, then the best way is probably to use your mobile as a pager. As you can get free texts when abroad you can ask your friends and family to text you if they need to contact you urgently and you can then call them using voip or a "cheap" phone card.
For those of you who may need to call a lot or who travel abroad on many occasions, an international sim card may be more appropriate.
