Sprachcaffe/Languages PLUS only teaches a language in the country in which it is spoken. That makes the country, city and its people an important part of the learning concept. You will study in a relaxed way, without having to fear making mistakes - in fact it is much like having a discussion in a "caffe linguistico". Hence the name of this organisation, created with the word play of "Sprach" meaning language and communication and "Caffe", the atmosphere we aim to create at all of our schools around the world.
The advantage for you: Our courses broaden your horizons by exposing you to students from all over the world. The locations of all schools were selected not only for positive teaching purposes, but also for their attractive surroundings that are ideal for leisure and cultural activities. Therefore, for each language, you can choose between the electrifying atmosphere of large modern cities or the peace and charm of smaller cities and provincial towns.
The nationality and age mix at Sprachcaffe Brighton varies over different time periods, courses and levels.

does not hold classes on the holiday dates below. The school does not compensate for these holidays, so make sure to choose your start date accordingly.
Our school is housed in a beautifully restored Edwardian building offering a large student lounge, courtyard and free internet access.

I was the only one using the day course facilties. All the other students met the night before.
I was told to be at 8.30am at the school, no one was there. The school started at 9am.they all went to the cantine for lunch and I didn't understand where I was supposed to meet them so I spent the afternoon on my own on the campus. Everyday, I was alone for 3h between the lessons and afternoon activities. Activities were mainly freetime in different towns. We went to London and again I didn't understand the instructions and was on my own around the city. This might be a good we didn't do any activities suggested in the brochures. I left lunch time on the last day as I was fed waiting around every day. The course might be good for full board students but not at all for day students.
Not good since they didn't teach very well. They didn't look after the students and they mixed beginner students with high level students. They only did lecturer and looking after the payment.

I would recommend this school if you are a beginner because they don't have any advance classes. The location is perfect, it's near the train station and you have many restaurants nearby to choose from. I stayed in the hotel provided by the school. It was okay if you only stay for less than one month, because is quite expensive.

It's perfect to meet new people (From a lot of different countries). The organisation of Sprachcaffe isn't perfect, no internet access, no possibility to change of classes. I have not learn a lot of things in 2 weeks. In the certificate it's written the attended percentage, not the English level...

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad that you enjoyed beautiful Brighton and the high quality of our teaching. All of our teachers are highly qualified and very experienced at working with students from different cultures and levels.
We welcome students from all over the world to our school, some for just one week and some for several months. Therefore class levels are very important to us, so that all students receive the best learning experience possible. All students take tests based on the Cambridge English exams on their first day, and at the end of every week. Teachers and school staff are always happy to speak to students about their progress and there is always the possibility to move level, if the teacher believes the student is ready. All of the feedback from your teacher and your three different test results indicated you were in the correct level.
Free wi-fi is available throughout the school, and classes are organised to help students develop both their English and effective study skills. Teachers use a coursebook as a framework, but plan their weekly lessons according to the needs and requests of students. During your time here, we encouraged you to discuss this with your teacher, and also provided extra homework on grammar issues you asked about. We’re sorry that you felt two weeks wasn’t long enough for you to develop further. From the students who have finished studying with us so far this year, 95% felt that their English had improved, with others also mentioning they needed to stay for longer to see more improvement.
On completing a course at our school, all students receive a diploma providing full details of their level, dates studied, and attendance percentage. If you have lost this certificate, please contact us for a replacement.
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Brighton. These homes are often between 20 - 40 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
