More than just a language course

Our goal is to develop your intercultural competency as well as your language skills. That’s why our teachers are all native speakers; they bring their own personal experience of not just the language but what it’s actually like to live there and be part of the society.

"Learning a language has lifelong benefits as it is a continuous process. When you study a new language, you also gain a new understanding of your own culture as you see it through a new liminal perspective." Dr Ana De Medeiros, Director of King's Language Centre
