How can I make finding the right langauge course easier?

To have a good overview and on the same time to have many language course offers to choose from is a big challenge.

We are in the process of making the user interface more friendly. Within relatively short time the users will not only be able to see the courses grouped by cities and then sorted by dates but also grouped by weeks and sorted by price.

Naturally, the tags will still be available but viewing by weeks has many advantages.

When you group by number of weeks and then sorted by prices, you can easily compare prices and the course duration regardless the destination. This is a great option for clients that do not see the destination (city) itself as the main criterion. With this new feature clients can focus more on learning the language for as many weeks as possible and as cheap as possible.

Two types of language travel - Business or Pleasure. Read more on www.LanguageOnSale.com

Generally speaking there are two types of language travel. Which one to choose depends on parameters such as:
- Time
- Money
- Expectations

The first type is business. The term business in this case is not to be mixed with a business language course. Here I associate business with learning the language as fast as possible without sincerely caring for the travel part in language travel. The travel part is looked well upon for the sole purpose of having opportunity to immerse oneself in the language at all time.


With this aim time is of the essence - a certain language level improvement must be reached within a limited time frame. The prices are high because it demands a lot of lessons and the expectations towards surroundings are only of linguistic nature.

The second type is for the more adventurous people that are interested in the foreign culture. Pleasure plays a big part of the language holiday expectations. By pleasure I mean inter-cultural experiences and leisure time. Time frame is for this type of language travel not a decisive factor and the prices for the language courses are relative low because the most suitable courses have few lessons per week.

There are numerous levels between business and pleasure categories but these are the basic differences. It's a good idea to take this into consideration before booking a course.

Language travel – last minute?

Many associate language travel with long-term planning and high prices but this is not necessarily entirely true. At LanguageOnSale you buy finished made last minute packages, which consist of a specific language course typically with multiple language levels and a specific accommodation type. This solution has several advantages:
  • Last minute discount – lower price than if you book directly at the school.
  • No confirmation is needed – availability is guaranteed.
  • All packages do not require visa or only require a visa that is extremely simple to acquire – e.g. is issued at the airport (only applies to EU-citizens and a couple of other countries. Consult the relevant embassy to be sure).
  • All language travel packages are the preferred choices by the students.
  • It is simple – let us worry about all the details.

This concept allows you to be spontaneous without having to go on compromise with the quality. The language school partners are all accredited by a recognised authority.

As opposed to learning a foreign language at home, a language travel ensures that you practise even outside the classroom and that your teacher is a native speaker. This full immersion into language and culture facilitates a rapid learning process by instantly being able to put your newly acquired language skills to the test.

Learning the language where it is spoken is undeniable the best scenario. The last-minute concept is specially designed for people who are serious about learning/improving a foreign language, spontaneous and do not mind saving some money.
