Language PLUS Sport
Sabbatical year, Gap Year, Long stay: Language PLUS Sport
Sport is the perfect complement to language learning. After the morning language classes, there's nothing more stimulating or relaxing (this is up to you!) than exercising in the great outdoors. Moving, running, swimming, riding, gliding… sport is the best way to refresh body and mind!
A great thing about sport is the integration factor: physical activity helps you enjoy the natural landscapes, become one with nature, experience each moment of your trip more intensely and see things from a different angle. Even better, sport allows you to meet other likeminded locals and other students as well. This is the perfect opportunity for speaking the language you're studying in a natural setting.
With ESL, there are countless possibilities to combine sport with language classes abroad. Here are a few options among our range of Language PLUS Sport courses:
