Language schools Australia: Combine your vacation with learning English.

Australia is one of the most appealing vacation destinations in the world for many and is visited by more and more travel enthusiasts every year. Many travelers take the opportunity to brush up on their English skills alongside adventure and relaxation. Language schools in Australia offer the perfect complement or alternative to a conventional vacation trip and allow you to travel the country without language difficulties. Of course, a language study trip to Australia also has the advantage of improving your career prospects in many industries.

When choosing a suitable school, you should compare the offers of different language schools in Australia. Find out which language schools in Australia employ the best teachers and offer you well-maintained accommodation. The language travel providers on our website will be happy to help you.

Questions and answers

As in everyday life, some people manage with very little money, while others need much more. However, you should note that you will usually need more money when traveling than at home, as you will probably take part in more activities and excursions at the language schools in Australia than you normally do. Expect to spend around 150 AUD per week, with some more if you are interested in taking part in larger weekend tours, such as a sailing trip, a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island or the Whitsunday Islands.
You certainly don't have to fly to the other side of the world to learn English. There are also excellent language schools in the United Kingdom, which also have a long tradition and first-class teaching staff. But England doesn't have what Australia has to offer: more than 37,000 kilometers of coastline, the best surfing spots in the world, the breathtaking underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, the sheer endless, wild outback, untouched nature and the relaxed serenity of the locals, who always make you feel welcome.

Learning English while enjoying life, coming into contact with other people and getting to know a foreign culture - all this is possible on a language course at language schools in Australia. Because unlike a language course in Switzerland, you live the language exactly where it is spoken and thus deepen your foreign language skills immensely. You will communicate in English around the clock with people of different nationalities and in this way not only expand your vocabulary and grammar enormously, but also your social skills and independence.

Language training at one of the many language schools in Australia cleverly combines language learning with a leisure program, which gives you the advantage that you can always look forward to variety and entertainment after class. In most cases, the individual language schools in Australia also offer well-organized leisure programs, which include barbecues and beach parties, for example, but also surfing or diving lessons, camping trips, kayaking and didgeridoo lessons. On the weekends when there are no courses, you can either travel independently or relax, or take part in the excursions often offered by the schools, for example sailing around the Whitsyndays or organizing a Fraser Island trip.
During all this time, you will be speaking English and improving your language skills quickly. In the courses at language schools in Australia, English is of course also the language of instruction, which may be a little irritating at first, but after a few days you won't even notice. You will be able to apply everything you have learned in the course immediately afterwards, which will inevitably give you a much higher motivation to learn than would be the case in a language school here in Switzerland.
Especially in the high season, most language schools in Australia offer extensive leisure activities that can either be attended free of charge, such as movie nights, barbecues or rugby matches, or for which you have to pay, such as a surfing course, a harbor tour or whale watching. You can also book various excursions at almost every language school, most of which are day trips and are mainly offered at weekends. These can be excursions to other nearby cities, to the rainforest or Fraser Island, to the Great Barrier Reef or Ayers Rock, participation in wine tours, skydiving and sailing trips, a visit to a crocodile farm or a wildlife park and much more. The range of excursions offered by the individual schools depends not only on the size of the language school but also on its location, so if you are interested in varied or specific leisure activities, you should also select the language schools in Australia according to this criterion.
Language training at a language school abroad can vary greatly in length. There are special courses, especially for students, which take place exclusively during the vacations and therefore cannot last longer than five weeks. However, it is of course also possible to attend a language school for just one or two weeks and travel during the remaining time. Some schools offer stays specially designed for families, providing all members of the family with courses appropriate to their level and a wide range of leisure activities. This makes it easy to combine a family vacation with language training and then spend some time traveling the continent.
However, language schools in Australia don't just offer interesting language courses for young people. There are also special courses for young adults, professionals and senior citizens, which specialize in the needs of individual groups. Not only short language courses are offered here, but courses of up to 48 weeks or more. How long you enrol on a language course will certainly always depend on your goals, your motivation, your budget and the type of course you choose. Cambridge preparation courses, for example, usually have a fixed duration of 10 to 12 weeks, during which you will be perfectly prepared for the upcoming exam. You can also find out more about the individual language diplomas and language schools in Australia in the guide " Education and continuing, further training in languages" (see navigation point "Education help" above).
In principle, adult language courses are open to anyone over the age of 18. Many language schools in Australia also accept students aged 16 and over. Nevertheless, participants in Australia in particular are usually younger than in many European countries, so you can expect most participants to be between 22 and 26 rather than between 20 and 30 years old. For business language courses, the average age is also somewhat higher in Australia, usually between 25 and 35.
