Learn English abroad
13.12.2010
In the January 2011 issue of Spot on, you can read about how to choose the right language-learning holiday.
Choosing the country you want to go to will be a question of personal taste, time and money. See below for links to the official tourism websites of most of the places you might want to travel to. For visa information, there are also links to the German embassies of countries outside Europe.
In the magazine, there's lots of information about choosing the right school for you. Once there, the first thing the school will probably do is assess your language level. The official European language level grading system (CEFR or GER in Germany) is becoming standard. Despite this many schools still use their own system of grading. If you want to find out what level you are in the CEFR system, do one of the free language level tests at sprachtest.de.
