At language schools, teachers use the latest and most effective teaching methods to help students improve quickly.
Classes are typically small and interactive, with 10-15 students. Teachers encourage participation through questions, oral exercises, role-playing games, and real-life scenarios presented through videos.
Textbooks relevant to the course material are used, and the teachers adapt to the group's level and diversity.
Students have the option of selecting 20, 25, or 30 hours of classes per week, each lasting around 45 to 55 minutes.
For more personalized instruction, private teaching hours can be added to regular classes. All classes are taught by native speakers and taught in the chosen language from the first day.
Most language schools welcome students from the age of 16.
During the summer, most students are between 16-25 years old, as they have holidays and can dedicate time to learning a new language. However, between September and June, the student population of a language school may be more diverse.
There are fewer students aged 16-18, as they are usually in school, except during school breaks. Instead, the language school may have university students, professionals, and expatriates keen on improving their language skills and motivated to network with their classmates.
