Foreign Languages School Trips

Set off on a modern language school tour, where students can develop their speaking and listening skills by immersing themselves in an environment that promotes conversations with locals and hands-on participation.

A modern language school tour offers students the chance to bring their language learning to life through immersive cultural experiences across the world. In France, students can explore the origins of the French language at the Académie Française, dive into the influence of modern slang in a lively verlan lesson and put their language skills to the test by haggling for souvenirs. In Spain, they’ll refine their listening abilities by watching a play at the iconic Teatro Español and explore Barcelona’s rich history and culture through a guided walking tour conducted entirely in Spanish. Meanwhile, in China, students can practice their Mandarin through attending an authentic Beijing-style variety show. A language-focused educational tour, regardless of destination, provides students with the opportunity to improve their communication skills and expand their awareness of the cultures they’re studying.
