Are you a German employee looking to study English abroad? If the answer is ‘yes’ then Bildungsurlaub is perfect for you!
The easiest way to learn a language isn't via an app, but to immerse yourself somewhere where your target language is spoken 24/7. Here in Manchester, English language students are exposed to English all of the time. Whether reading road signs, ordering food from a shop, or overhearing conversations in the street, English is everywhere! This is why there is no better place than Manchester to learn English.
Manchester has a rich and unique culture dating back centuries.
