Why learn English in England: The answer is straight forward: Because it's easier, it's faster, it produces better results and just as important - you will find it much more stimulating and enjoyable.

Easier: Studying a language at home whether at a school or on a correspondence course, demands a lot of energy and discipline. You have a million other things to do and each time, before you go to your class or start your homework, you have to "get back into it". The only aim during your English course with Exmouth Language Academy is to learn English. It will come more naturally and stay with you longer.

Faster: During the course you will be Living in England. You will be totally immersed in the language and culture of the country and you will hear, read and speak nothing but English all day. In this way you will pick up an amazing amount very quickly, both inside and outside the classroom. You will hear the language as it is used by native speakers, not necessarily as it should be used. you will have the opportunity to use your newly acquired language in many situations every day while you are here.

Better Results: A language is more than just grammar and a collection of words, it is a means of communication between people, which is why you can never really learn a language from a book and why we here at Exmouth Language Academy put the emphasis on communication, talking and learning by experience. You will notice that, both in class and outside, you will participate in daily life with the teachers and your fellow students - the best way to strengthen your speaking skills quickly and at the same time, understand the emotion attached to certain words. Essential knowledge you can only obtain from native teachers in the country where the language is spoken in it's natural form. More stimulating and enjoyable: When you learn English in England, studying is definitely not dull or boring. You will be introduced to it's rich culture, strolling through the town and soaking up the language in use. At weekends you can travel to the cities, the countryside or the beach and make friends for life with people from not only here in England but from all over the world. Learning English in England is an adventure.
