Looking for a unique experience where you can develop yourself and discover the world? A language trip for adults aged 25 and over combines learning a language with exploring a new culture, at a pace that suits your life. Many schools offer courses specifically for adults, so you study with people at a similar stage of life: professionals who need a language for work, people taking a career break and travellers who simply love languages. The atmosphere is focused but relaxed, and your classmates come from all over the world. ## More than just a language course ### Invest in your career A new language is a valuable achievement for yourself and your CV. Whether you work internationally, want to switch careers or need a language for a specific role, a course abroad gives your career a real boost. ### Expand your international network You meet fellow students and professionals from around the world. Those connections often last long after the course, for friendship, travel tips and sometimes even business. ### Discover a new culture Living in the country where the language is spoken is the best way to truly get to know a destination. You experience the culture, traditions and lifestyle up close, and live like a local. ### Develop your personal skills Finding your way in a new city and a new language makes you more independent, flexible and confident, skills that are just as valuable back home. ## Which type of course suits you? - **General course**: balanced lessons in speaking, listening, reading and grammar. The most popular choice. - **Intensive course**: more lessons per week for faster progress, ideal if you only have a few weeks. - **Business course**: focused on the vocabulary and skills you need at work, such as meetings, presentations and emails. - **Exam preparation**: prepare for an official exam such as DELE, DELF, CILS or Cambridge. - **Private lessons**: fully tailored to your goals, on their own or added to a group course. ## Popular destinations for adults Cities with culture, good food and a lively atmosphere are a favourite for a language course combined with a city break. - [Barcelona](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/barcelona) - [Madrid](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/madrid) - [Valencia](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/valencia) - [Florence](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/italian/italy/florence) - [Nice](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/french/france/nice) - [London](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/england/london) - [Brighton](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/england/brighton) - [St. Julians](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/malta/st-julians) - [![]()

Are there language courses specifically for adults? Yes. Many schools offer courses for adults or have a minimum age for certain programmes, so you study with people at a similar stage of life. You can also choose a general course, where you'll usually find a mix of ages.
How long does a language trip for 25+ usually last? Most adults book between one and three weeks, often combined with their holiday leave. If you want to reach a higher level, a stay of four weeks or longer gives you more time to make real progress.
Can I take a business language course? Yes. Many schools offer business courses or private lessons focused on your work, from meetings and presentations to writing emails in another language.
Where do adults usually stay? Popular choices are a private apartment or studio for more privacy, or a host family if you want to practise the language every day. You can also arrange your own accommodation.
Can I take a language course without any prior knowledge? Yes. Courses are available for every level, from complete beginner to advanced. You take a level test first, so you're placed in a group that matches your level.
