If you want to learn English in one of the most historically-significant cities in history, then look no further than an English school in Southampton. Home of the Spitfire plan that won the Battle of Britain, the port from which the Titanic sailed, the city from which the Mayflower left before it went to Plymouth, Southampton is one of the most vibrant cities in England, not only because of its strong student population, but also due to being one of the most important ports in the land and the home of cruise lines that bring in a never-ending, ever-shifting variety of tourists that help keep the city lively. Rich in history, Southampton offers much to explore once your classes are over – lots of museums, a visit to the longest stretch of surviving medieval wall in England, innovative art galleries, theatre, music performances in all styles. There's also football, hockey, rugby and cricket to be seen, and many other opportunities to keep yourself in shape – Southampton was named ‘fittest city in the UK' in 2006. If you feel like a calmer sort of after-school activity, consider taking a walk in the New Forest (which is pretty old now) where you're almost certain to come across the famous Forest ponies that run free there most of the year and aren't shy of coming up very close to strangers. And if you feel like rewarding yourself once you've completed your language training, you'll be in the right place – when your English courses in Southampton are done, you can just book yourself a ticket on one of the cruise and go wander the world in style.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
