Program Languages & Locations
Learn Chinese in Zhuhai, China!
Forget Beijing and Shanghai. Too much pollution, traffic and metropolis headaches. Zhuhai is one of the biggest and newest cities in southern China in the Special Economic Zone. You get the modernism of Shanghai, yet the ancient feel of Beijing with nearby historical provinces of Yunnan, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
The Pearl River Delta, which includes the world financial center of Hong Kong, one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world, is full of excitement and culture that is not found elsewhere on earth. There is a world of opportunity swelling within the walls of China that will provide you with a chance to experience the wonder and intrigue of the largest country in the world. On this program, you can choose to study mandarin or Cantonese.
Learn Arabic in Alexandria, Egypt!
Speak Arabic in the ancient city of Alexandria – the pearl of the Mediterranean. Welcome to one of the most historic, yet cosmopolitan cities in the world. People such as Cleopatra, Alexander the Great and Napoleon have all been enchanted by the beauty of the Nile Delta. Now it is your turn!
As E.M Forster once said, “The best way to see Alexandria is to wander aimlessly”. As you stroll through the streets, you will be astounded, not only by the diverse architecture, but also by the intensely “different” atmosphere. Alex has a surprising blend of cultures, from Middle Eastern to Mediterranean, from Islamic to Coptic Christian. Around every bend, there is a fresh example of one of these cultures – new treasures just waiting to be found.
From the fort at Qaitbey to the presidential palace and gardens of Montazah, Alex stretches for 20 Km along the coast of the Med. Some of the most intriguing sights include the Biblioteca Alexandrina, the Greco-Roman museum, and the Mosque of Abu el-Abbas el Mursi – one of the finest of its kind.
Learn French in Tana, Madagascar, Africa!
Who needs Paris? Expensive and isolated for many foreigners that take language courses there. Why not learn French in a real exotic French-speaking country. Madagascar lies 400 kilometers off the east coast of Africa and is legendary for the profusion of its wildlife and flora, 80% of which is found nowhere else on earth. The island offers diverse and spectacular scenery: mountains, deserts, rainforests, dazzling beaches fringing the Indian Ocean and island archipelagos linked by coral reefs and clear turquoise waters.
Known as 'Tana', the Malagasy capital is about 1250 m above sea level in the Central Highlands. With a population of around 2 million people, Tana is the centre of the Merina tribe, who resemble the Malayo-Polynesian component of the first Malagasy settlers. The city is set in a basin surrounded by 12 hills. You couldn’t ask for a better place to practice your French.
Learn Spanish in Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Buenos Aires quite rightly lives up to its name of the “Paris of South America”. Central Buenos Aires is full of beautiful buildings designed by the same French architects that designed some of Paris’ most famous buildings. When you walk through San Martin, close to our training centre, or the wide tree-lined boulevards of Buenos Aires you could easily imagine that you have been magically transported to Paris.
The huge metropolis of Buenos Aires is one of the most exciting, charming and fascinating of all South American capitals. It's an immensely enjoyable place just to wander about, stopping off for an espresso or an ice cream, or people-watching, or shopping, or simply soaking up the unique atmosphere. Its many barrios, or neighborhoods, are startlingly different, some decadently old-fashioned, others very modern, but all of them oozing character. Added to that, Buenos Aires is the country's gastronomic centerpiece and boasts a frenzied nightlife that makes it one of the world's great round-the-clock cities. You’ll soon be using your Spanish in all sorts of social situations. Add to this, the Andes, Patagonia and its glacial region, the huge Igazú falls, gauchos, skiing in the southern lake district and not to mention miles of beaches to the south of Buenos Aires and you've got a very interesting location to explore. Buenos Aires is also the business and financial center of Argentina
