September is one of the best months of the year for travelling. Not only has it cooled down in sweltering southern Europe and beyond, but the kids have gone back to school, prices have dropped and it's all that bit more relaxed. If you're staying at home there's plenty to tempt you here too...enjoy! 1. Win a language holiday in Europe! |

The school was well staffed and very friendly. Activities were really well organised and ensured that students intergrated themeselves. Santiago was an amazing city: quiet when you want it to be and loud and crazy when you want it to be. I stayed in a homestay and I loved it - the people were incredibly friendly, accepting me into their family and taking care of everything for me. The culture in a Chilean family is what really made it such an amazing experience." |
"The school was fantastic: the classes were taught in Spanish by excellent teachers. The staff were helpful and the atmosphere really good - very international & friendly. I feel that I've made huge progress. San Sebastián is the perfect location: it has good public transport, great restaurants & bars, good shopping and beautiful beaches. We were there for 'grand semana' so enjoyed all the activites and the spectacular firework competition!" |
"The school and classes were excellent, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. All speak very good English for when your French isn't good enough! The town of Aix is very pretty - lots of little streets, squares and fountains, and loads of restaurants. The weather in Provence in summer is fantastic, and it invites an outdoor life of relaxing, eating and drinking. It's perfect as a location and we would certainly return here in the future." |

"The best thing is the amount of
incidental conversation with the course,
as you have the teacher’s undivided attention. Astrid and I are the same
age so finding things in common is
easy! Out and about, practice my
Spanish on taxi drivers and waiters.
Most of the time we seem to understand each other, although I did buy what I thought was coconut tea, to discover it was actually made from cocaine leaf!" Read more... |
