If you want to combine your language studies with other activities, the Standard 20 Course is the ideal programme for you.

The LSI Intensive 30 course concentrates on all the areas that you need to achieve a much greater fluency in a short period of time.

The afternoon classes further intensify the tuition and consolidate what you have learnt, through fluency practice and a comprehensive review of the culture and customs of your host country.
