How learning a language abroad builds skills, confidence and connection – at any age


For many Brits, learning another lan- guage means a new way of connecting with the world. Whether it’s on a fam- ily getaway or solo adventure, most of us have considered how great it would be to move beyond relying solely on English and immerse ourselves in the places we visit. Tat desire for more authentic cultural exchange is chang- ing how we travel — and how we see our place in the world. As a result, time spent abroad has


become less about ticking destina- tions off a list and more about tak- ing the opportunity to gain a fresh perspective. In today’s global society, there’s a growing appetite for experi- ences that build independence, confi- dence and cultural awareness — not just among young people, but across all generations. Many parents, for ex- ample, are just as eager to invest in their own personal growth as they are in their children’s.


Tat’s where EF (Education First)


comes in. Trough EF Language Abroad, UK families have the oppor- tunity to move beyond traditional tourism and truly connect with a new culture — all while learning a language. With options for every age, everyone has the chance to return home with new skills, lasting memo- ries and amazing stories to share. Having recently celebrated its 60th


anniversary, EF is a trusted global leader in international education. Its language courses, designed for learners aged anywhere from 13 to 70+, blend classroom learning with immersive cultural activities and ex- periences. With a variety of languages to choose from, it offers unforgettable adventures in 50 global destinations — from the sun-soaked French Rivi- era to the bustling streets of Tokyo.

instruc-


tion with hands-on learning at ac- credited language campuses. By stud- ying with peers of a similar language level in small class sizes, students benefit from a structure designed to encourage significant progress within weeks. What really sets EF apart, howev-


er, is the learning that happens be- yond the classroom. From surfing after class in Costa Rica to making your own pasta in Rome, every mo- ment is designed to immerse you in
