  1. Homestays in Brighton Offer a Haven For Learning English Learning English is easier living in an English home and community Homestays are popular with tourists, students, gap years, interns or city break weekenders, but they have additional, tangible benefits for students learning English. One of the best ways to truly immerse oneself in the culture and language of a country is to choose a homestay option. Homestay means renting a room in a family home in the community, so the student enjoys the comfort of a real home along with the benefits of learning the characteristics and quirks of a language and of course, plenty of practise. Studies show that the most effective and efficient way to learn a language is to be surrounded by it. It's not just about learning lists of words and grammar rules, it's about how the language works in practise and how it is used on a daily basis. Research has shown it takes five years to become proficient in English. Most recent research suggest it may take as long as 30 years to master the language to the level of a native speaker. The same research states categorically that English is learnt faster and more fully when it is acquired by immersion, in other words, living in an English speaking community and even home. Brighton on the south coast of England is a hive of homestays. Most homestays in Brighton have formal relationships with Brighton English schools and so offer the opportunity to be immersed in English while also pursuing formal studies in English at an accredited language school. But Brighton's popularity isn't restricted to the quality of its English schools. Brighton is the English gateway to the world. The region has the best gateway links in the UK, meaning it's easy to travel in and out of the country as well as to London. It is close to the English Channel and major airports. Train stations abound and the bus service is excellent. It is easy to navigate and any trip offers views of extraordinary natural beauty including the south coast. Young people will particularly enjoy Brighton as it has an active social scene and lively night life. But it offers something old as well as something new. It is close to Oxford University, Dover Castle, the White Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Cathedral, not to mention historical buildings in Brighton itself. It's also right near the beach and a great seaside location for the summer student.

  2. Staying with a local host family means students can learn more about England and the British culture rather than just the language. Host families are also a great option for younger students whose parents may be anxious that they are appropriately taken care of and their welfare is seen to. The British take the care of young people very seriously, so there is little for parents to worry about. Options for English courses while staying in Brighton are vast. English schools offer Intensive English courses, General English courses, and English combined with additional subjects of general interest. Many courses are offered over the summer, offering a unique opportunity for a summer holiday combined with developing a valuable new skill. Courses are available specifically for young people and children. There are others that are geared towards adults aged 40 and over. Young adults are well catered for. A particularly exciting course offers an English learning experience for families. Parents can accompany their children and have a superb vacation learning together. It's great bonding and also facilitates continued learning at home. There are plenty of homestay opportunities available in historic, exciting and beautiful Brighton. Whatever their age group or learning needs, there is a place and an opportunity for everyone.
