Summer intensive courses
Our 2011 session of summer intensive courses has now finished. Specific details of our 2012 programme will be available next year.
For those who wish to get a head start in their language studies, we organise intensive courses during the Easter and summer holidays. These courses give general tuition in the language and are suitable for students who need to learn or develop language skills at a rapid pace. Lessons of 3 hours a day, over a period of one or two weeks held at Languages Unlimited school.
Our summer courses are designed to give you the chance to develop your language skills in an intensive period. In our courses the main focus is on improving speaking skills and the grammar and vocabulary needed to achieve this.
Teachers use material which is directly and immediately relevant to your daily life. Teachers use articles from newspapers or books to act as a basis for discussing hobbies, likes and dislikes, politics, travel, daily activities and a variety of topics. Through exercises of vocabulary and grammar, we aim to help you express yourself.
Our summer courses are very intensive courses, but they give you the chance to quickly improve your skills. You will need to study a certain amount of grammar and vocabulary at home and this is recommended only for those students with more free time.
A typical session of one week covers general themes and material including grammar and vocabulary. The course will focus on a combination of English or French in context themes and development of different skills each day. These typically include reading skills, writing skills, news topics, video lessons, global issues, and conversation round-tables.
The format of our summer course has been developed over many years by our team of experienced teachers. Our experience shows that the 3 hour daily session is the best suited to learners living, working or studying here in Brussels who are also actively following a language course.
All our groups are small which gives you the chance to really participate in the class and allows the teacher to focus on all the students.
Summer courses are open for both adults and younger students. However, students under the age of 16 are not included in adult groups. We organise special courses for children and young teenagers.

Last Minute English
If you are going on holiday or on a business trip soon and you are not confident about speaking English, these once a week lessons are designed for you. We will help you to prepare to speak English in real situations such as booking and checking into hotels, ordering food in restaurants, shopping, arriving at airports and a host of other situations where you need to communicate in English.
Using role play, dialogues, audio and video material, we aim to show you what you need to say and what to expect from the people you communicate with. We focus on making sure that you are understood and get what you need. There is ample opportunity to correct mistakes you make and there will be dedicated time to answer your questions about how to say things in English.
With this course you can stop worrying about your English skills and concentrate on relaxing and enjoying your vacation.
Sessions are once a week during the summer intensive period. Each session lasts for 3 hours and you are free to join in as many sessions as you wish.
Each session = 35 €
