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.
