Spanish at the Costa Brava? In the Tierra del Fuego at the end of the world? Or in the shadows of the Mayan pyramids? Or do you prefer Portuguese on the Brazilian beaches?

ELG, with own schools, partner schools and private teachers offers you a wide spectrum of language courses, customized to your cultural and study needs.
Be it in combination with your vacation plans or in preparation for an internship to follow.

So you want to do in an internship but you still don’t have extensive knowledge of the language? No Problem! Thanks to our internship preparation language courses, Internships are also possible for complete language beginners. For this you should plan at least 7 to 8 weeks of time, to aquire sufficient language skills.

Depending on your previous language knowledge of your desired language course, we will place you in the appropriate course level. Usually your language ability is assessed through a language test given the first day of classes.

Classification of the language levels:

The group size in the intense courses is limited to a small number of students to ensure optimal results in each course. The small group size allows for an intense exchange between language students and the teacher and makes it possible to have flexibility with the curriculum and the topics focused on. You also have the option to take private classes (one-on-one tution) in some course destinations.
Please check the respective language course descriptions.

Classes are held from Monday through Friday and usually take place between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM. The minimum length for group classes is two weeks and you’re free to choose the length of your course.

Our teachers are native speakers, who not only have been trained in and have experience teaching to foreigners, but also often speak a foreign language or have lived in a foreign country. We feel that this allows teachers to understand what difficulties students encounter in learning a new language.
To also ensure the most effective learning possible, classes are held primarily in the language instructed. You are also able to combine one-to-one instruction with a group course for optimal learning.

After finishing your studies you will recieve a certificate of completion of the language course.

In all language course destinations we provide accommodation of different types during the course. In some language course destinations, accommodation is included in the course fees, in other destinations accommodation is optional.
All accommodations are carefully selected by us so you are in a relaxed and comfortable environment where you can practise the language you are learning on a daily basis. The rooms are fully furnished and accommodatos are close to public transport.

Accommodation is available from Sunday before starting the course until Saturday after finishing the course. If you arrive earlier you can book extra-days of accommodation.

Each city where we hold courses has its own specific attractions. From excursions and sightseeing to events and presentations, you will experience the culture up close and personal. Whether it be at a Salsa course in the Caribbean, a Spanish Flemenco evening or an excursion to experience the legacy of old civilizations there are countless leisure activities to learn about the culture. You can find details about the range of activities on the pages about the individual course cities.

If the language course happens to be a job-related requirment for further education, under certain conditions you are able to claim when you file taxes. Ask your tax consultant to see if you qualify.

You can get information about scholarships for your language experience abroad through the international study abroad office of your university or college.
