Living The LanguageOne of the most effective ways to learn a language is to take a course inthe country where it is spoken. You are surrounded by the languagethroughout your stay which means that you are subconsciously absorbingand developing in the new language all the time.In addition to the formal lessons you will also belearning at lunch times and in the eveningsthrough informal discussion with colleagues, yourhost family and the other people you meet. Youwill be making immediate practical use of thelanguage you have learned.By staying with a host family, where available, youhave the opportunity to be involved in the culturallife of the country at first hand, to take part inthe daily routine of your hosts and to experiencehow the language and culture interact andintermingle. Prices quoted for host families includehalf-board accommodation.“You will be makingimmediate practical useof the language youhave learned.”page 01www.linguarama.com
