You stay in an experienced teacher’s home, have one-to-one lessons, enjoy three meals a day with the family and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay. Mealtime conversation, visits, television and social contacts are all in the language you are studying. We have a dedicated expert staff in our offices including the whole of the Josephs family. Students from all over the world take advantage of our services every year. Your OWN private course Our language courses are designed for your needs and because you are the only student during your lessons you are guaranteed individual attention! All of our teachers have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our Local Organisers, their qualifications have been checked and their homes thoroughly inspected. Our Chief Executive Ian Josephs M.A. (Oxford) originated the idea of living in the teacher’s home in 1979 and was the first to offer this service.

You must book a minimum of 5 hours of activities per week. (N.B. This supplement does not apply to the Combined Courses as the expenses are already included). • Standard course with informal activities only It is also possible to book a programme with no language lessons and only informal activities, for example 15 hours of activities with no lessons in Manchester = £660 + £195 expenses supplement. • Extra language lessons: £22, €40 or US$40 per hour • Extra informal activities: £22, €40 or US$40 per hour + an expenses supplement of £13, €15 or US$18 per hour (which is used to pay for any transport, entrance fees etc. for the student and the accompanying person) Combined Courses The Combined Courses combine a language course with the organised activities below (for example sport, culture etc.) Unless otherwise mentioned all courses include: • Accommodation in an experienced teacher’s home • Full-board (3 meals a day) • Extra language lessons: £22, €40 or US$40 per hour • 10 hours of private language lessons per week • Extra organised activities on request • The stated sport, culture, leisure etc. activities • All costs (entrance fees, sports equipment hire, transport etc.) You can also choose different Combined Courses, for example 1 week of sports + 1 week of culture etc. (though the courses should be in the same area to avoid a change of family).
