Language journeys to the general term for the language learning abroad developed.

One generally differentiates between general-linguistic and specializedlinguistic contents. The language journey consists thereby of the components language course, accommodation, on/departure and leisure activities.

With the selection of the language course becomes after duration (usually in weeks) and intensity (number of instruction units per day and number of group members per course) differentiated between. Regularly also after language, course place, a course goal as well as the degree of previous knowledge one differentiates.

The trend goes to longer language travel stays into combination with exam preparatory courses or practical courses. Apart from the pure Sprachkenntnissen also the acquisition of intercultural authority is an increasingly explained goal of language journeys.

The main advantage from language journeys is that/the traveler in daily handling is forced to speaking the language; for example in everyday life situations as when buying, with restaurant attendance, with Konversation with native and naturally also with other language travelers, who do not know ideally the own native language. After the slogan "„in the water one learns to swim "“achieves one generally a faster confidenceness with the foreign language and a higher efficiency with the language acquisition than with language courses in the homeland.

Criteria for choice for good language journeys are above all the following:

• Number of different language levels, which are informed in the language school
• Maximum number of students in the group
• Distribution of different nationalities in the language school - the more internationally so much the better for the learning progress
• Acknowledgments and memberships of the language school in federations
• At least partly interesting the leisure program offered beyond the pure language course is

During the reservation there are in principle two possibilities:

• Direct booking with the language school
• Reservation over an agency/an organizer (usually one finds in the Internet agencies and organizer)

If the price is identical when reservation over agency/organizer for direct booking in the language school, this kind of the reservation has the advantage that the industry knowledge of the offerers is probably larger than one could be opened by pure Internet search. It is advisable however to address the agencies directly on the topic of direct prices.
