EF's lessons focus on the four main language disciplines of reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our aim is to give you confidence in using the language in everyday situations. Teaching takes place in small study groups allowing maximum interaction between teacher and students to encourage a quicker rate of progress. Normally classes are held in the morning, but some courses may involve afternoon classes.

EF works hard to find welcoming host families who are suitable to take international students into their homes. EF staff visit all families to assess the comfort of their home, and to interview the host parents. Many of our families choose to host EF students year after year as they enjoy the international experience and cultural exchange so much. Students who return abroad to study with EF again often ask to stay with the same family as previous years, and can build a unique bond of friendship.
