What are the best destinations to learn a language in Europe?
Alpadia Language Schools offers an excellent range of destinations to learn a language abroad. We find that learning your chosen language in a country or city where that language is widely spoken allows you to immerse yourself in it, therefore improving your chances of fluency. You can learn French in Lyon – the gastronomical capital of France – or study French in Montreux, a stunning Swiss town on the edge of Lake Geneva. If you want to improve your German skills, why not learn German in Berlin – the country’s capital? Or for something a little more laid-back and picturesque, learn German in Freiburg – an eco-city located on the fringe of the Black Forest.
How long does it take to learn a language abroad?
According to FSI research, it can take anywhere between 400-780 hours of study to learn a language abroad, although of course, this depends on the language since some are harder than others. How long it might take for you to learn a language abroad depends entirely on several factors: these include what your starting level is, what your personal goals are, and how much you decide to practice outside of class. No matter what your needs are, Alpadia Language Schools has courses to suit every need. Whether you want to learn quickly with our intensive course, focus more on cultural exploration with our standard one, or have the teacher’s undivided attention with our one-to-one programmes, Alpadia’s got you covered.
