Our approach

An EF language course abroad connects three elements: academics, adventure, and culture. It's an immersive learning experience for every student who travels with us. By studying a language where it's spoken by locals, you don't just learn a language — you live it.

Academics

Your progress is our priority. We combine classroom-based learning with immersive, real-life activities, so you learn faster.
Adventurous

Our courses are designed to let you step out of your comfort zone and into a new city. Like any great adventure, it's both challenging and rewarding.
Multicultural

Through full cultural immersion, you'll experience the rhythm, customs, and dishes of your new home city alongside friends from around the card.

Where will language take you?

With destinations spread across the world's most exciting cities, we take you to the heart of the language. Build your own journey abroad that's matched to your ambitions, passions, and future. You'll make friends and memories to last a lifetime.
