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.
