Are you dreaming of adventure? Stunning scenery, a rich culture, and meeting friendly people from all over the world while practising your English?

Then you should definitely go on a language trip to Australia!

This cosmopolitan country has great weather almost all year round, which makes it possible to study English language courses on the beach, or even in the wild, even in the evenings!

Introduction to Australia: the land of the kangaroos

Australia, also known as the Land of Oz or the Island-Continent, is located in the southern hemisphere of our planet. Australia is the only country in the world that is also a continent!

In terms of history, it was populated by Aborigines for more than 50,000 years. Northern fishermen and Dutch sailors then frequented the coasts until 1770, then the East was claimed by a British fleet in 1788. Six other autonomous colonies were formed between the 1800s and 1900s, eventually forming the country of Australia, also known as the Commonwealth of Australia. The Aborigines were not spared, and were pushed back to the west of the country.

Australia is home to about 24 million people from all over the world, including 600,000 Aboriginal people.

More than three-quarters of Australia's people have European roots. This is due to the large immigration of the European population, which arrived after the Second World War.

It has also welcomed with open arms various peoples from the Middle East and Asia. Today it offers a sublime melting pot of different cultures.

With more than 500 parks, the country has the most national parks in the world!
Australia fascinates by its many faces and landscapes: from arid expanses, to white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, to breathtaking panoramas and dynamic cities...

She has a lot to offer her visitors for a day, or forever...

In the land of Oz, you will also discover unusual things such as improbable prohibition or prevention signs, even downright humorous!

And if you are still hesitating about going on a language trip to Australia, you should know that the island-continent is the country of chill and idleness...

Not only are Australians warm and relaxed, they spend most of their time playing sports, walking in the beautiful parks and strolling along the country's many beautiful beaches.

Why learn English in Australia?

It's a fact that Australia is an expensive destination to go on an English language trip.

However, it has many advantages compared to traditional destinations such as England or the United States.

During your English course in Australia you will be able to :

Enjoy an excellent climate with good weather all year round and therefore travelling with a light suitcase! No need to pack warm clothes in the winter. A small light jacket, a waistcoat and jeans are enough!
Meet a multicultural population: for enriching cultural exchanges with people from all over the world. You don't need to visit the whole world to get to know different cultures and ethnic groups, you will find them in Australia!
Work: If you wish, in order to finance your English courses and enjoy the country for longer. The status of privileged worker-student is very favourable thanks to the working holiday visa.

It is important to know that the average Australian salary is almost 50% higher than in France, so a good salary awaits you...

Enjoy an idyllic setting:

Study outdoors after your English classes in a relaxed atmosphere on the beach. Surfing or discovering the many corners of Australia.

How long will I stay in Australia?

For destinations far away from France such as Australia, it is preferable to go on a language study trip for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks if your budget and schedule allow it.

Australia has treasures just waiting to be discovered, and to have time to enjoy them to the fullest, long stays are preferable.

Indeed, Australia, located on the other side of the world, is accessible by plane and it takes an average of 25 hours of flight to get there.

When is the best time to stay in the Land of Oz?

Plane tickets are quite expensive in the summer. It is therefore better to choose an off-season departure in order to devote your saved budget to a longer language trip.
Beware, in Australia, the seasons are reversed! When we are in summer in France, winter is present in Australia.

With regard to the Australian climate, three different trends can be observed:

In the south of the country, the climate is temperate and extends over four seasons. It is neither too hot nor too cold.
In the north of the country, the climate is tropical and extends over two seasons. Between October and March, the weather is hot, humid and quite stormy with recurrent torrential rains. Between April and September, the weather is dry and hot.
In the uninhabited hinterland regions of the outback, the climate is arid, the nights are cool and rain is scarce. The heat is almost unbearable between September and February. Between March and August, however, the climate is milder.

Which city should you choose for your language immersion on the island-continent?
