FAQ
- What kinds of language trips are there?
A language trip can be put together in different ways. The STS concept is:
Language – this is the kind of language trip where you have classes in the morning and fun excursions and activities the rest of the day and evening. This type of trip can be combined with a sports course (or photography, fashion etc) at plenty of our destinations. For this type of trip, we also offer intensive courses and courses that are specially developed for those with dyslexia.

Adventure – this is a very popular kind of language trip which does not include traditional tutoring. This course is packed with activities, excursions and other fun stuff. For instance, we offer Coast to Coast, an adventure that will bring our students across the US with stops at plenty of exciting places.

- What are the language lessons like?
It definitely will not feel like your regular school lessons at home – our teachers will take into account that you are in a country where the language is spoken. There will be a variation of group exercises and supervised activities, all together with your new friends from all over the world. Your homework might, for instance, be to tell your classmates about the dinner you and your host family had last night.
- Can I stay with my friend?
Absolutely, we try to place friends and siblings that want to live with the same host family together. Same applies for resort and campus stays. Up to four friends or siblings can live together. Let us know when you book if there is a special person you want to live with.

- Can anyone go on a language trip with you?
We do anything in our power for everyone to be able to go on the trip of their dreams. It is therefore important that you inform us if you have any illnesses, allergies or disabilities. With this information in mind we can find a solution that suits you the best. We have host families that have experience when it comes to diabetes and allergies etc. and who are well informed when it comes to medication, nutrition and the ways of living.

- How much will I learn?
Since you are surrounded by the language everywhere you go – at home, in school and during your spare time, you will benefit from every minute. The things you learn in the class room is just one part of the education. You will also learn a lot when you practice the language after classes, when you spend time with your host family, when you go shopping or when buying ice-cream.
