Learn Portuguese. Feel at home — in Lisbon
I will recommend this school because I had a really good stay. Thank you for making me feel welcome. See you next time, muito obrigada!
An English school that feels like home
It was the best choice I’ve made. This school offered me things I didn’t find elsewhere — I received the warmest welcome, and the environment felt like home. After two months of studying, I improved a lot thanks to the great teachers and classes.
Study English. Discover the world — in Melbourne.
Studying General English in Melbourne for 10 weeks was a truly transformative experience. Intensive classes and daily conversations helped improve my grammar, vocabulary, and confidence. Being surrounded by people from around the world and immersed in the city’s culture made every moment an opportunity to grow. I left with stronger English skills, new friendships, and a deeper cultural perspective.
The English summer camp your kid won’t stop talking about
My daughter came home extremely enthusiastic after her stay at Emerald. She had a very positive experience at school, with the activities, and with her host family. Thank you, and congratulations on your professionalism!
Where Spanish learning feels like vacation
The school is amazing. I enjoyed all the classes a lot and learned so much! They were both educational and fun—just the sort of vacation I wanted. Thank you so much to all of you!
Berlin is better with BWS — and so is your German
The teachers were lovely and very friendly, they made it so easy to improve your German level (especially speaking). You will learn so much German, it’s worth it!
Experience Japanese hospitality — study in Fukuoka
The school made me feel like a special person, not just another student. I stayed with a host family who were incredibly kind and showed me around the city — we’re still in touch today!
Not just a Portuguese school — a community with heart
I’m having an awesome time here at Caminhos. The teachers and staff are all very helpful, and there’s always something to do in the afternoon and evening with all the after-school activities. They also offer amazing programmes outside of the school, like Mais Caminhos, which supports local Brazilian children and teenagers through education.
Learn English in laid-back, lively Cardiff
Wonderful and skilled teachers, friendly staff, and a lot of extras that keep a student excited — like group visits, meetups, and more. There’s great diversity among both students and staff at Celtic English Academy, and Cardiff is a very laid-back city that still has a lot to offer. The locals are very friendly and polite, too!
