School description

Sprachcaffe/Languages PLUS only teaches a language in the country in which it is spoken. That makes the country, city and its people an important part of the learning concept. You will study in a relaxed way, without having to fear making mistakes - in fact it is much like having a discussion in a "caffe linguistico". Hence the name of this organisation, created with the word play of "Sprach" meaning language and communication and "Caffe", the atmosphere we aim to create at all of our schools around the world.

The advantage for you: Our courses broaden your horizons by exposing you to students from all over the world. The locations of all schools were selected not only for positive teaching purposes, but also for their attractive surroundings that are ideal for leisure and cultural activities. Therefore, for each language, you can choose between the electrifying atmosphere of large modern cities or the peace and charm of smaller cities and provincial towns.

I really liked my class and the teachers. Especially how they managed to explain more difficult things in understandable ways.

"It was a real great experience"

Stéphanie CALPENA-CERDA, student from France

The classes were good but I was a little bit disappointed with the pre-intermediate level. Sometimes it was more of an elementary level, and we spent a lot of time repeating the same things. Actually, if you are here for a few weeks, you wouldn’t want to waste time. The teachers were good. The reception was always available. I didn't have any problems with my host mother and her house.

Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa.
