Studying a new language can be difficult – and one of the best ways to pick things up quickly is by fully immersing yourself in a country that commonly speaks the language you are learning.
Many English learners may be considering studying in the UK, the US or Canada. The UK is known for its high quality of teaching, and is one of the world’s most popular destinations for studying English.

Here’s 5 reasons to choose the UK for a language stay :

1. Practising English with native speakers
   Practising English is key to improving. Simple day-to-day activities such as going to the shops, eating in restaurants and using public transport prompts studentd to speak to a lot of people outside of the classroom.
   2. Building up an understanding of different accents
   While there are a lot of locals living in the UK, there are also many people from other parts of the country and the world. They all speak English slightly differently, whether that’s with a different accent or with a regional dialect.
   3. Exciting social life
   The UK offers a variety of activities, from museums, live music, or going to the pub. Depending on where abouts in the country student chooses to live, they will find a range of options to fill their free time with.
   4. Travel opportunities
   There is ample opportunity to travel and enjoy the diverse landscape and exciting histories in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Additionally, the UK also benefits from fast and cheap flights to many places in Europe, so students will be able to travel outside of the UK too.
   5. Increases chances of securing a university place in the UK
   Studying English in the UK increases chances of acceptance to a UK university, not only because the qualification will be valued, but also because there are many university pathway programmes that may help to secure a place at a UK university.
