Studying Languages Abroad

Improve your language skills while living abroad and exploring new places. Projects Abroad Language Courses let you learn your chosen language from highly trained native speakers. We believe that everyone can get more out of their experiences when they learn new skills and the ability to strike up conversations with the people they live and work near.

Learning a local language, or a major language spoken around the world, will help you better understand the cultures and perspectives in your chosen destination.

As you learn a language abroad with us, you can choose from one-to-one or group lessons, with varying hours over one, two, three, or four weeks. Lessons will cover speaking, listening, reading and writing. These can be standalone classes or added on to many of our existing projects.

Invest in yourself by becoming a better communicator and reap the rewards that come from speaking another language.

We’d be happy to talk about creating a custom project for you. Most of our staff have been volunteers themselves, so they’re well placed to answer your questions, big or small.

You don’t need any previous language qualifications or experience; just the willingness to learn and try new things. Group Language Courses are also a good way of meeting others who are living in your community and getting to know the country, so you can make friends and build a support network.

All our teachers are fully qualified, and all learning materials are included in the fee.
