Ask us a question
How is a
typical EF lesson made up?
EF's lessons focus
on the four main language disciplines of
reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our
aim is to give you confidence in using the
language in everyday situations. Teaching
takes place in small study groups allowing
maximum interaction between teacher and
students to encourage a quicker rate of
progress. Normally classes are held in the
morning, but some courses may involve
afternoon classes.

together with a friend in a host family?

Will I get my
own room?

share rooms with one or two other students of
the same sex.

How do you
select your host families?
EF works hard to
find welcoming host families who are suitable
to take international students into their
homes. EF staff visit all families to assess
the comfort of their home, and to interview
the host parents. Many of our families choose
to host EF students year after year as they
enjoy the international experience and
cultural exchange so much. Students who
return abroad to study with EF again often
ask to stay with the same family as previous
years, and can build a unique bond of
friendship.

you as quickly as possible.

Will the host
family have children of their own?

have children, but not all of them.
