Young at Heart Courses (50+ years)
These courses are specifically aimed at students over 50, who want to study a language whilst learn more about the country and its culture. They are a little more lighthearted than the general course and the perfect way to enjoy your leisure time whilst socialising with others of a similar age. Classes focus on oral expression and the social and cultural aspects of a country, rather than grammar and written skills. Language classes take place in the morning, with a whole range of cultural activities and excursions in the afternoons and evenings. A typical programme may include trips to a museum or show, cookery or dance classes, and visits to nearby cities, beaches or countryside.
They usually run for two weeks in the Autumn and Spring months and combine daily language lessons in small, friendly groups with a full social and cultural programme. 15 or 20 language lessons each week focus on practical everyday situations and the pace of learning tends to be less intensive than on standard group courses.
Visits to local markets, museums, galleries and other places of interest enable people from all over the world to explore new places in friendly, like-minded company. Some courses include dance classes and cookery lessons.
