How do I find language courses for 50+? Search for your favourite destination or country and look for courses for 50+ in the course list of each school. Not every school offers a dedicated 50+ course, but many do, especially in Spain, France and Italy.
Can I also join a group with all ages? Yes, absolutely. The 50+ courses are designed to group peers together, but you can also choose a general language course, where you'll be in class with students of all ages.
What if my school doesn't offer a 50+ course? Then you can book a general language course, where you'll be in class with all ages. Many students over 50 do this and enjoy the mix.
How do I book my accommodation? Check the school's page to see which accommodation options are available and book them together with your course. You can also arrange your own accommodation, for example through Booking.com or Airbnb.
Do I need any prior knowledge of the language? No. Courses are available for every level. You take a level test first, so you're placed in a group that matches your level.
