Information: Language schools in England officially re-open on 27 July 2020

Would you like to learn English in England? Although it is one of the most classic destinations, it is nevertheless the most popular and flagship destination for learning or developing your English, with a touch of British accent as a bonus!

Get ready for colourful language trips to the birthplace of Shakespeare...

Presentation of England

To begin with, a geographical point is essential.

Don't confuse England, the United Kingdom and Great Britain anymore!

Indeed, the United Kingdom is a country that includes the nations of Northern Ireland, several small islands, as well as Great Britain.

While Great Britain is a country that includes most of the United Kingdom with England, Wales, Scotland and a few islands.

England is therefore not strictly speaking a country, but rather a consecutive nation of the United Kingdom.

England, with a population of about 56 million, is nicknamed the land of tea and pejoratively "The Perfidious Albion"... A nickname to be completely banished since it is a pejorative nickname given by the French to the English during the 100 Years' War.

The nation has shown great independence for centuries and has always sought a degree of unification with its neighbouring countries. It has always been rather solitary and inclined to keep its independence, hence the recent signing of the Brexit Agreement to allow the United Kingdom to withdraw permanently from the European Union.

It was one of the leading modern democracies and was the first industrialised nation in the world.

Generally accessible in less than 2 hours from France via Eurostar or by plane, it is only an hour's time difference from France.

In order to become bilingual, a language stay in England is a must in order to be able to practise the English language quickly and easily, while benefiting from rich cultural exchanges!

Why learn English in England?

The English language originated in England, so it is legitimate to want to learn English in the country that gave birth to it.

To learn English during a language stay in England is also to be able to learn all the subtleties of the English language, its British humor and to be able to detect the British accent from the American accent.

England is moreover easily accessible from France since it does not require any particular or complicated formalities to stay there for a few months, unlike other Anglo-Saxon countries which require a visa or slightly more restrictive formalities.

How long will I stay in England for a language stay?

Of course, it all depends on the level of English you wish to acquire.

For a short stay, plan intensive language courses stay to give you the best chance of success, and full-time or part-time courses for longer stays.

Financially, the cost of living in England is higher than in France.

A short stay to learn English will be more interesting in England because of the price of its plane tickets and the quality of its language schools.

However, if you are looking to make a very long stay to learn English without having to bear big expenses, it will be better to prefer a language stay in the United States in order to be able to find yourself financially in the long term.

The optimal period to take English courses in England

England enjoys a mild, wet oceanic climate.

Although there may be occasional snowfall, temperatures rarely fall below freezing.

Summer temperatures can reach as high as 30°C.

The northern regions are quite cool compared to the south-east, the Cornwall Plateau and the London Basin, which have a warmer climate.

The summer season is ideal for a language study stay in England to take advantage of the sumptuous parks and gardens and numerous sightseeing tours.

However, a larger budget is required due to the higher prices during this period of peak tourist activity.

The winter period is the best time to avoid the influx of tourists and benefit from more affordable prices for outings, travel and meals in restaurants.

If you wish to go swimming during your language study stay in London, you will need to go in August and September. However, don't expect the water to be hot.

The sea temperature is quite cool and never exceeds 18°C !

Courses offered in England

During your language stay in England, you can benefit from foreign language courses in prestigious and renowned schools!

You will be able to select an English language program that will include between 10 and 30 language lessons per week, with the option :

General English courses: part-time, full-time or intensive courses
Preparation for certain exams: IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, FCE or CAE.
English for work courses: a mix of general English courses and English for work courses.

Cities to choose for a language stay in Shakespeare's birthplace

A wide range of destinations and excursions are available during a language stay in England.

One of these is of course London. The breathtakingly beautiful, extravagant and cosmopolitan capital of England is home to no less than 50 different nationalities!

You can also take a language course in Manchester. If this popular city is famous for its football team, it is also famous for its many modern cafés, its lively music scene, its mix of gothic and modern buildings, and its warm atmosphere.

Come to Oxford for a language study abroad if you want to explore its famous university campuses, including the famous Christ Church College & Cathedral, the Botanic Gardens and the walks along the Cherwell River for which Oxford is famous.

The different kinds of accommodation available for students

During your stay in England you can choose between two types of accommodation:

The host family: this type of accommodation will allow you to become more deeply rooted in British culture for total immersion.
Student residence: this type of accommodation allows you to meet students from all over the world. Student residences are located closer to the schools than host families, and therefore allow you to reduce the time spent in public transport.

Activities offered after class

England is a resourceful nation that caters to all profiles: from lovers of lush green nature, to history buffs, to music and film enthusiasts.

For example, you can visit :

The Warner Bros Studio Tour London, especially for Harry Potter fans, or even follow in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper through the alleys of London's East End.
The Tower of London, the Crown Jewels and its halberdiers, as well as the story of Henry VIII's former wife.
The apartments and St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen of England.
Stonehenge: the fascinating prehistoric megalithic sanctuary.
The Georgian city of Bath, its abbey and Roman baths.
The famous Big Bus tours in London.
The national parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor for their green landscapes, caves, waterfalls, steep cliffs, menhirs and cairns...
Or the walled city of York.

Practical information before take-off

Discover some practical information before you go on a language trip to England.

Money, currency and cost of living

Currency exchange is compulsory, as the pound sterling is the official currency of the nation.

However, the exchange rate is relatively interesting since the pound sterling is weaker than the euro.

The overall cost of living in the United Kingdom is on average 6.2% higher than in France, and even more so in London, particularly in terms of transport and housing costs since it is the nation's capital.

Security

The United Kingdom has set up more than 6 million cameras to film the citizens of British nations on a daily basis to fight crime.

The country is therefore considered to be a very secure country, including the nation of England.

As in any major city in the world in general, some suburban areas near major cities are not recommended at night.

Gastronomy

Two cuisines are blending in England: artistic nouvelle cuisine and traditional cuisine.

During your language course in England you can enjoy traditional dishes such as Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Roast Lam and mint sauce, Pudding or crumble.

Languages spoken in England

Of course, the only official language in England is English! It differs from American English thanks to its small, very distinguished and delicate British accent.

What visas or documents do I need to travel to England?

For short-term language stays, no authorisation is required and the identity card is sufficient for students over the age of majority.

Minors must have an authorization to leave the country and a "Consent to travel" travel authorization.

However, the brexit and the exit of England from the European Union may certainly complicate the formalities for language travel in the future.

Even if no changes are planned before at least 2021, we strongly recommend that you carry a passport for your language stay in England, to prevent last-minute changes!
