Language courses: why choose New Zealand?
A country of wide open spaces and unspoilt nature
New Zealand is famous for its spectacular scenery — fjords, volcanoes, wild beaches and primeval forests — spread across two main islands, the North Island and the South Island.
Learning English in immersion in New Zealand means practising the language every day, in a relaxed English-speaking environment, while discovering a culture quite different from the United Kingdom or neighbouring Australia.
A bicultural country, between Māori heritage and British influence
New Zealand builds its identity around two cultures: the Māori culture, the country's first people, and the British heritage brought by colonisation. The Treaty of Waitangi (1840) remains a central reference of New Zealand civic life.
On the ground, this bicultural identity shows in the language (Māori is an official language alongside English), in welcome ceremonies, and in a very strong relationship with nature.
