Frequently asked questions about courses for 50+ abroad

How advanced should my language skills be for a 50+ course?

Our 50+ language courses are suitable for all levels, and our schools offer classes from beginner (A1) to advanced (C1) level, so you’ll find the right class for you whether you’re just brushing up on your skills or are just starting your language journey.

Does my language course include accommodation?

Yes, you can book accommodation alongside your language course. The most popular option for learners aged 50+ is staying with a host family, which comes with half board provided. However, there are also options for staying in a hotel which ESL can help you book.

How will I learn on my language course?

Emphasis is placed on all four major language skills in lessons - reading, writing, speaking, and listening - but also on finding out more about the culture of your destination. In small classes, you’ll have the chance to put all of these skills to practice, both with your native teacher and with peers.
