Winter Intensives, July 7-18, 2025

Whether you want to get started, get ahead, or work on your conversation skills, we've got you covered!

In January we dedicate TWO WEEKS to our Winter Intensives. You can do a WHOLE LEVEL, take a FULL 10-HR CONVERSATION COURSE, or shorter BEGINNER CONVERSATION (4.5-hr) and TRAVEL (7.5hr) courses!

You'll be doing a class every second day. The spare days are for homework, but you'll still have your weekends free!

As well as our regular language courses, Conversation courses for a range of levels are available - great to practise what you've learnt, and a good way to start the year!

Due to their intensive nature they are really good for consolidating material already learnt, as well as building level and confidence quickly.

You may even wish to do two at once! There are discounts for early enrolment (up to one month, and two weeks), as well as special fees for multiple courses, whether taken concurrently or consecutively (you'll find those in the online cart).
