Accommodation
Host familyWithout doubt, one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country is to stay with a host family.

The families generally live around 30 minutes away from the language school.
Shared apartment (from 18 years)
The apartments made available by the school contain two or three spacious and bright bedrooms with a choice of a single bed, a double bed or two separate beds. In addition, they are equipped with a stove and a washing machine. Located around 5-15 minutes away from the school, they represent the ideal option for those who wish to share with other international students close to the city centre.
