A completely different way to develop language skills. You can immerse yourself in your mother tongue.

The biggest motivating force is that, in addition to learning and as a complement, you can also get to know the mother country of the foreign language you are learning - customs, people, strange sports, beautiful landscapes, etc. It is a combination of learning and holiday, and you will gain knowledge without even noticing it.

Every morning the children study in international groups. It is understood that the lessons are conducted in the target language only, the teachers are qualified language teachers and their methods are different from those used in the home country. In the afternoon and at the weekends, they take part in the programmes together with students from other countries, so that the language of the country is the only tool that connects them.

In 25 years of language travel, we have got to know our partner schools better. We can guarantee the safety of children travelling through Shetland Language School up to 100%. We personally know all the language teachers employed by our partners, most of the host families have been hosting our students for decades, quality and safety is guaranteed.

Recommended. There are also courses for complete beginners, but it is more useful to have some previous knowledge.

From the age of 14. You can go earlier, but only if you are an able, independent young person with an intermediate level of proficiency in the language.

Nyáron 2, 3 vagy 4 hetes junior tanfolyamok indulnak, az itthoni tanév befejezését követően és augusztus végéig tartanak.

18 év feletti diákoknak az év bármely hetében van lehetősége kiutazni

In our experience, for at least 2 weeks.

Helyszíntől, külföldi partneriskolától, a kurzus típusától, a tanulmányút hosszától, időszaktól függően 450.000 Ft-tól fölfelé.

Yes.

Not typical, but possible in some cases.

The quote is usually sent at an earlier stage in the organisation process, i.e. when the tickets are not yet available. Therefore, the so-called basic quotation includes everything asked for except the cost of the trip.

Different airlines to different destinations, but Wizzair, Ryanair, Airmalta, now owned by Lufthansa, Airberlin are the most common.

There are ways to do both.

Most students stay with local host families, but any type of accommodation can be arranged on request: hotel, apartment, dormitory, etc.

For most partner schools, host families provide three meals a day, with one hot meal in the evening.

Igen, iskolánkként eltérő speciális diétás felár ellenében. Hasonlóképpen van lehetőség cukorbeteg vagy egyéb diétásigényekkel bíró utazóink számára megfelelő családot találni.

Yes, it is possible for two Hungarian children to request to be placed with the same host family during the organisation process.

Yes.

Most of our locations are either within walking distance or accessible by public transport. You never have to change anywhere.

The price quoted includes the local season ticket for junior students.

There are usually 3 or 4 lessons a day, with lessons lasting 40, 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the partner. Internationality is ensured by the fact that all our partner schools are in contact with 25-60 countries, some of which are EU Member States, others from Asia, Africa and America. All of them use the CLT method, which means that the emphasis is on spoken and written communication (CLT = Communicative Language Teaching).

Yes, mixed groups are always formed to minimise communication between speakers of the same mother tongue.

The partner schools try to apply both principles, and usually succeed: the groups are definitely structured according to levels. Survey results show that this almost always provides for immediate age-group placement. e.g. it is very rare to find a 13-year-old who can do the upper level.

On Friday each week, we have a progress "exam" in each of our partner schools. At the end of the course, all students receive a certificate.

These are precisely included in the very detailed certificates, i.e. not only the progress made during the course, but also the precise definition of the CEFR level and advice on how to improve.

A typical day goes like this:

Breakfast with the host family

Education at school in the morning

Lunch (packed by the host as a snack)

The programme is usually organised between 13 and 16.30 and children and parents are informed about it before the trip. These programmes include cultural, sports, craft and nature activities. After the organised leisure programme, there is free time from about 16.30 to 18.00.

At 18.00 the children go home to their families to eat a hot dinner.

After dinner, there is an organised evening programme. Excursions organised at weekends.

The compulsory programmes are very important to ensure that children are not left to wander unsupervised in the afternoon in a foreign city they may not know. Informal activities are organised with the host families, if there is a possibility and a demand for them. Activities organised individually with new friends made at the language school during free time are also an informal activity.

Provide individual medicines, possibly to meet individual needs.

Passport or identity card

Taking out insurance is an individual decision. You can take out travel insurance with us, covering both baggage and medical care. All parents will be asked about this during the organisation process, and it is possible to take it out elsewhere.

Yes, if the child travels with a the group (e.g. not individually), adult supervision is provided.

We only travel to the safest destinations possible, but these days that's no 100% guarantee.

If they get lost, they can either phone the Hungarian group leader, the host family or the emergency number provided by the partner school. If they are robbed or lose something, it will be reported to the local police according to the usual protocol. A record will be kept so that action can be taken when they return home. In the event of an accident or illness, the student will be referred to the local outpatient health centre or hospital if necessary.

The Hungarian adult in charge of the group is the main contact, but the host family and the people in charge of the partner school are always there to help.

Communication is individual, i.e. it is mainly between parents and child, using their own mobile phones. Parents will also be given the telephone and other contact details of the accompanying Hungarian group leader, the host family and the school outside. After returning home, parents can evaluate the trip with the Hungarian teacher leading the group at an individually agreed time and on request.

Depending on the destination country, we always hold a pre-trip familiarisation afternoon where we go through the recommended clothing and other packing requirements in detail.

Yes or no depending on the partner institutions. Some sites have laundry services for children provided by the hosts, others provide laundry facilities, but there are also sites where public laundry services could be used.

No sleeping bag, swimsuits are always advised, no guidebooks or dictionaries are necessary. Festive attire is not required, although a disco-type program may be possible.

Varies by destination country. Our prices are package prices, which means that everything you need is included. Spending money is only given according to individual needs.

England is strikingly expensive, and so is Ireland. Germany, Italy, Spain and Malta are reasonable.
