Looking for an experience that combines a holiday, new friendships and personal growth? Then a language trip is made for you. You learn a new language, get to know the local culture and make friends from all over the world, all at the same time. Language courses abroad are fun and interactive. Instead of sitting quietly in a classroom, you spend your lessons speaking, playing and solving real-life tasks. And after class, you use everything straight away: ordering at a café, chatting with locals or making plans with your new classmates. A language trip is also an investment in your future. A second or third language looks great on your CV, helps you in your studies and makes you more independent and confident. Many students say it's the experience that changed them the most. ## What to expect on your language trip - A language course at your level - Classmates your own age from different countries - Optional activities and excursions after class - Plenty of free time to explore your destination - A level test at the start and a certificate at the end - Accommodation through the school, or arrange your own - Check in the day before your course, check out the day after - Optional airport transfer to your accommodation ![]() ![Student excursion with Debla in Málaga]() ![]() ![]() ## Popular destinations for young adults Sun, sea and a buzzing student scene: these cities are favourites among students aged 18 to 24. - [St. Julians](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/malta/st-julians) - [Malaga](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/malaga) - [Cambridge](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/england/cambridge) - [Nerja](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/nerja) - [Biarritz](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/french/france/biarritz) - [Lucca](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/italian/italy/lucca) - [Tarifa](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/spanish/spain/tarifa) - [Sliema](https://www.extralingo.com/en/language-schools/english/malta/sliema) - [![]()

Most young adults choose one of these options, which you can book together with your course: - **Shared apartment**: your own room in an apartment with other international students. Lots of independence and the most social option. - **Host family**: live with a local family and practise the language every day, often with breakfast and dinner included. - **Student residence**: a room in a residence with students from different schools and universities, usually in larger cities.

Do I need to speak the language already? No. Language schools teach every level, from complete beginner to advanced. You take a level test at the start, so you'll be placed in a group that matches your level.
Will I be in class with people my own age? At popular destinations in summer, most students are between 18 and 30. Some schools also offer special programmes for young adults. Check the course details on the school page to see the typical age of students.
How long should my language trip be? You can go for as little as one week. From two weeks onwards you'll notice clear progress, and many young adults stay four weeks or longer, for example during the summer holidays or a gap year.
Can I combine a language course with going out and the beach? Absolutely. Lessons usually take place in the morning or early afternoon, so you have the rest of the day to explore, go to the beach or join the school's activities and nights out.
Do I get a certificate? Yes. Most schools give you a certificate at the end of your course stating your level and the number of lessons you took.
