Languages School Trips

New language. New culture. New student.

The best way to learn a language? Go to where it’s spoken.

You know there’s no such thing as ‘just’ a school trip. Show your students a world beyond their classroom and you’re doing more than boosting their language skills – you’re sparking a passion for new experiences.

We provide trips for students studying modern foreign languages, such as French, German, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin. You'll visit countries where those languages are spoken natively, so students can be totally immersed in the language and explore the culture through their reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills (something that even the very best teacher can't fully replicate in the classroom).

Plus, we're one of the only language study tour operators in the UK able to offer host family accommodation in selected destinations.

FAQS

What types of modern foreign language trips do you offer?

Spanish. French. German. Italian. Or even Mandarin. Whatever language your students are learning, we’ll help you take them to a country where it’s spoken, so they can experience it ‘in the wild’. But when it comes to MFL school trips, we group them into two distinct categories – Language Culture Trips and Language Study Trips.

What’s the difference?

Language Culture Trips combine sightseeing and cultural activities to offer a taster of the target language in its natural environment. This type of trip can be arranged pretty much anywhere, from Barcelona to the Black Forest, and Beijing to Brussels.
Language Study Trips involve plenty of sightseeing and cultural activities too. But they also include lessons at a specialist language school. These total immersion experiences are ideal for groups preparing for exams. All the language schools offer lessons in closed groups, taught by fully qualified native speakers.

Can we stay with host families?

Yes, we can offer host family accommodation in a select number of destinations. We're one of the only UK school tour operators to offer this experience. This is a great alternative to the traditional exchange, and is managed by our partner language schools who all have a dedicated Accommodations Officer. They know the hosts well and regularly check that the accommodation offered meets our strict criteria and that hosts have been police checked.
