      7 Reasons to Study English in London This Summer

      study English in London

      English is one of the leading languages of the world.

      In fact, it’s spoken by more than 1.5 billion people in over 90 countries.

      So it’s not a surprise that learning English helps you get ahead in your business or education. The only hard part is figuring out where to actually study it.

      But when you start thinking about it, you’ll realize you don’t really have to make a choice at all.

      Check out these seven reasons why you should absolutely study English in London this summer!

      It’s Easy to Learn English

      There are a lot of things about London that make it a great place to learn English. You definitely won’t have to struggle to find a study buddy.

      1. Constant Practice

      Everyone living here in London speaks English, so whenever you buy a cup of coffee or hop on a bus, you are practicing the language.

      This helps you learn how English is spoken outside of the classroom and lets you digest and remember the language. When you’re studying a new language but only get to practice in a classroom, it is easy to forget the language when you leave that specific room.

      But you never truly leave the classroom in London.

      You Can Even Get Paid

      Many English summer courses leave plenty of time to get find work, and by interacting with your coworkers and customers, you’ll pick up the language quickly and make some cash at the same time.

      As an added bonus, you’ll also find multiple different accents in the same city, something you’re less likely to find in other English speaking countries. Though they may be confusing at first, interacting with multiple English accents lets you get familiar with all the different ways English is spoken.

      Ultimately, the best way to learn a language is to consistently speak and listen to it, and when you study English in London, you interact with native English speakers everywhere you go every day.

      2. Interactive Teaching

      London has been teaching English classes longer than any other country.

      English teachers are more than familiar with the subject and they introduce unique learning styles in their classrooms. Instead of focusing on lecture or grammar, teachers involve the whole class in conversations, debates, and discussions.

      The goal isn’t for students to simply learn the language. Teachers want their students to retain what they’ve learned, so they teach English in realistic settings, like how to communicate in everyday conversations.

      And don’t worry about homework. Teachers here bury you under tests and assignments. Again, and get used to it, the best way to learn a language is to speak it, so the class grade is based off one paper at the end of the term.

      This may seem daunting if you aren’t used to this teaching style, but the lack of homework gives you the freedom to practice English in the real world instead of struggling with it in your room.

      Supplement Your Learning With History

      Learning how to say English words is great, but understanding the background of English words is better.

      3. London’s History and Culture

      There’s a lot of historic sights here in London (a whole summer might not be enough time to see them), but most of them aren’t far away.

      You can get to many of these places with a quick bus or train ride. The historic monuments and locations in other English speaking countries, like the United States of America and Canada, are spread out. You would have to take several plane rides to see them all.

      We don’t have that problem here! In London, you don’t have to take a single plane ride to visit places like the Tower of London, Stonehenge, or Windsor Castle. You can even visit places like Paris, Brussels, or Lille with a simple, inexpensive train ride.

      Some summer programs will actually travel to a few of these locations as part of the curriculum.

      Exploring ancient history in London will help you better understand the English culture and language. No matter where you go, you’re likely to see traces of old history.

      4. Birthplace of the English Language

      Speaking of history, London is a great place to study English because the language originated here.

      Every other English speaking country took the language from London. Seeing how other cultures influenced English and learning how the grammar formed will give you a broader understanding of the entire language.

      Studying Here Isn’t Boring

      There’s a lot to do, a lot to see, and a lot of people to meet!

      5. Study with People from All over the World

      A lot of people choose to study English in London.

      Because of this, you are introduced to different cultures and perspectives, which can positively influence your life and character.

      It’s also easy to make new friends because you’re all studying together.

      6. Fun Learning

      Studying here feels more like a vacation than a summer class. Many of the things you would normally do for fun will actually help you develop your English skills.

      You can check out the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre and see a live performance of one of his plays. This will help you learn about English poetry and literature.

      On your days off, you can visit some book stores and practice your reading.

      Meeting people and spending time at the beach, exploring, and shopping will make your time learning English relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re staying in London for a long amount of time, you can take a break from your studying and spend a week relaxing like a real vacation.

      7. The City Itself

      London itself is full of vibrant culture, art, history, and people. You can ride double-decker buses through the streets or hang out with friends at local pubs.

      The only regret you’ll have at the end of your stay is that you weren’t able to live there longer. It’s not an experience you’ll forget.

      Are You Convinced Yet?

      London is the best place to learn English because it relates classroom lessons with historical background, and it’s fun!

      The English qualifications you’ll get here are recognized all over the world.

      If you want to study English in London but need help figuring out how to get there, let us know!

        Nacel is an exceptional school where you stand a good chance of brushing up on your English level. In fact, it's a big break for engaging with native English teachers and classmates all over the world. Teachers are always willing to clear up your doubts and they truly care about your progress with your English. Besides, you could go on outings alongside with the other learners and teachers which is a quite striking experience since you could hang out with foreign people while you learn more about British culture, customs and traditions. Therefore, I just want to thank all teachers (Anne-Marie, Jonathan, Tony and Nick),classmates and staff with whom I enjoyed meeting at Nacel as they really went a long way in boosting my confidence with English! So, if you are really into enhancing your English speaking, listening or writing, I recommend that you give it a shot at Nacel. It will undoubtedly be a remarkable life experience!

        I did a 6 week class back in 2016/1017 in preparation for the Cambridge Advanced Exam. Fellow students quick became friends and the time at the school was a great experience. I felt supported by the teachers and they could explain everything so well. I would recommend this school to everyone and I would go back there in a heart beat if I ever need to. Thank you Nacel, I miss you!

        The Nacel English School is fantastic and I really enjoy it. Last year I had pleasure to study there during three weeks. The English teachers are very good and kind also they have big skill to teach English. Now, in 2020, I’m whatching the live classes on social media and it’s great because I can learn more and review what I’ve learned 01 year ago. Thanks so much Nacel.

        I studied at Nacel 2 years ago and the school is amazing, with excellent teachers and staff. Surely having studied at Nacel made my exchange even better. And the live on instagram that Nacel is doing now has been very useful to continue learning. Thank you Nacel!!!

        I had a really good experience in this school. Today is my last day and I'm so impressed how my English has improved so much. All the teachers in this school are native English speakers. Maybe this is is the reason for my fast development and good pronunciation!

        It took me a while to decide which English school I wanted to go to because there are so many. Nacel English School had very good reviews so I thought I should go for this one. Indeed it is a great English school in London! My English improved much faster than I thought and the school has a great atmosphere. The teachers are very very nice, and they make the learning easy. The staff at the reception are always very helpful and made my stay in London much easier. I also like meeting people from around the world in the school, it’s easy to make friendships. I am very happy of my choice with this school.
