Language courses for teenagers
Language trips for students
Join a LISA! language trip – you’ll spend your holidays in some of the most beautiful places in Europe, get to know new cultures & lifestyles and learn a language quickly.
Most of our course locations are seaside resorts, some schools even have a private swimmingpool. After school, you can meet up and enjoy your free time, go to the beach, go shopping, take part in some fantastic leisure activities or just relax and get ready for partying.
Your team leaders
Each school has a team of people who look after you. Team leaders are enthusiastic, great fun, and, to give your parents peace of mind, trained and qualified. They know exactly how to make the most of your holiday, they’ll guide you through your leisure programme, show you around the town and organise your party nights.
Your language course
Forget your school/college! It’s important for you to go
to school/college, but the lessons you’re used to are nothing
like tuition at our language schools abroad. You’ll be surrounded
by the language you’re learning 24/7, you’ll learn
new vocabulary in no time and be a lot more successful at studying
the language in general.
Quite often, teenagers who had problems at school/college come
home from a LISA! school speaking the language fluently.
Your leisure programme
Our courses include a varied leisure programme after lessons. You will join the other course participants and your team leaders on the beach for parties, discos and sports activities. Some courses include weekend excursions to some fantastic places, e. g. London, Monaco, etc.
Why learn a language?
In order to be successful in today’s job market, you won’t
get very far without speaking different languages. The
internet and globalisation is bringing people from all corners of the
world together so if you speak other languages, you’ll have
much better chances to be successful in life – no matter
if you intend to work for a British or for an international company.
In fact, some linguists say that by the year 2050, there will
be more people in the world speaking Spanish or Chinese than English.
Better results!
Our school teams will be happy to advise you on how to improve your marks at school or college. Our tutors are experts and have helped thousands of students through their school/college exams. For more information, please contact our helpline.
Exams coming up
GCSEs, A-Levels or other exams coming up? Our tutors will show you how to achieve the best results for any exam you want to take. We recommend preparation courses for French exams in Nice or in Montpellier (minimum age 16) and Italian courses in Salerno (minimum age 16).
Information for Parents
Dear Parents!
Remember you dear little one’s first words, their first
steps, their first day at school? Now they’re teenagers,
they are supposed to get good results at school/college, be good
citizens, speak languages and embark on a successful career. You can’t
help them with everything, but our advice is to let them travel,
let them see the world.
Nothing is of more importance for your child than the experiences
they can make on a language trip, to see a different country,
experience a different culture, meet people from around the world
and learn an invaluable lesson for life. It won't just help with
their results at school/college but also prepare them for an increasingly
global
job market.
LISA! quality
Our schools have been teaching youngsters for many years, using
the latest methods and resources.We do not run mass tourism, sending hundreds
of coaches full of teenagers abroad.
Course participants at our schools come from all over the world.
This enhances the learning experience and makes a language trip
even more interesting. Please contact our staff who will be happy to offer their advice.
LISA! tutors
Our tutors are native speakers and academics who specialise in teaching youngsters. Even beginners will be able to understand their tutor straight away and will discover how much fun it is to learn a language.
Test
On the first day at school all learners will be given a test. This will show each learner's level of the language and also reveal any gaps that need to be filled.
