Your progression rate mainly depends on three factors:
The first one is your chosen language and its complexity: improving your skills in German, French or Russian might be a bigger challenge than doing so in English. The choice of language does influence the progression rate from beginner to proficient.
The second factor is the level you start off with: the higher your level already is, the longer it takes to advance to the next. For example, a beginner in English may move to an A2 level within 12 weeks while progressing from a B2 to a C2 (essentially a native level) usually takes 24+ weeks. Why not take one of our language tests to check your current level and, with our counselors’ help, you can determine how many weeks it will take to reach your goal.
The third factor depends on your goals and how you shape your stay in terms of daily homework practice, living with a local host family and practicing the language during meals, choosing an intensive course over a standard course, with more lessons per week. We are here to assess your needs and create a learning program that will allow you to reach your goals.
