Welcome to Teenagers Abroad! We invite you to join us on an amazing journey of language learning.

Our Courses

Regardless of your choice of course, you’ll develop your language ability both quickly and effectively. Our Standard Course guarantees a significant increase in your confidence in a foreign language, with focused teaching in all 4 skill areas—speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing the fastest possible language learning.

Evaluation

Students are placed into classes according to their current language skills. The majority of them take an online language test before starting their program. However, if this is not available, students sit the exam on the first Monday of their course.

Arrivals and Transfer

Our program offers the full package-students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end. They are collected from the airport upon arrival and brought to their accommodation in comfort. We require the student’s full flight details at least 4 weeks in advance.

Meals/Allergies (过敏) /Special Dietary Requirements

Students are provided with breakfast, dinner and either a cooked or packed lunch (which includes a sandwich, a drink and a dessert). We ask that you let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements as well as information about any medicines you take. Depending on the type of allergies and/or dietary requirements, extra money may be needed for providing special food.
