Language and Culture Tours
To learn a new language, it helps to fall in love with where it’s from.
Our language and culture tours give students the chance to explore the landscapes, landmarks, and languages they’ve learned about in the classroom. They’ll also discover new ways of experiencing the world—from speaking with locals during dinner at their home to developing the confidence to order coffee in another language.
