6 Travelling Languages: Our concept Learning the grammatical rules and all the exceptions is only a small part of knowing a language During childhood we learnt by expressing ourselves and by listening to others Travelling Languages guarantees you will practice English 24 7 Have you ever been abroad to improve your English??? Is it the same talking to a teacher or to a native speaker in a bar or restaurant?? Did you speak English all the time? Did you speak to people from your sector about business? How many times would you have preferred not having to choose between a course and a vacation?

7 Travelling Languages: Our concept TALK JOCKEYS - COACHES We have created a new style of tutor, called a Talk Jockey, who travels with the group in order to keep the participants engaged in conversation to encourage fluency. Our TJs are facilitators with similar interests and of a similar age to you. They are native speakers who know the local culture and help you to immerse yourself in it. There is always a minimum of 1 TJ to every 6 students, to make sure that the only language spoken is English.

8 Travelling Languages: Our concept TABLETS We provide each participant with a 7 personal tablet PC. The tablet contains over 30 movies with different levels of English that you can watch while travelling. TEACHER SUPPORT Our teachers travel with us and are there around the clock. They are able to assist with language queries both in and out of the classroom. NATIONALITIES While travelling, we will make sure you share with people of different nationalities, so you are not tempted to speak your native language
