Pay 2011 prices for 2012!
All our internship programs will maintain the same great prices in 2012.

Included Program Features

Tuition in one of our centrally located, up-market, fully-equipped language schools for an intensive language course Monday to Friday for 2 weeks. Class hours are between 45 and 60 minutes from 9:30 to 1 pm (or similar) and there is a break in between classes.
The class size is between 6 and 10 students. This means that there are plenty of opportunities to participate in class conversations and to get to know your classmates.
Absolute beginners can only start on the first and third Monday of each month. Students with previous knowledge can start any Monday. See list of legal holidays which cannot be made up.
