Dear Readers,

From all of us here at LISA! Language Travel, may 2012 bring you all the health, happiness and excitement you could wish for! We’re starting the New Year off with a bang, offering a range of language courses in exotic destinations. We know that many of our clients long to travel to far-away countries and discover different cultures. Learning a foreign language is like unlocking a door to a wealth of native traditions, customs and culinary delicacies.

In China, the scent of delicious traditional cuisine wafts through the narrow streets from small restaurants and food stalls. Here you’ll learn the names of the various dishes and be able to chat with the cooks about the food they are serving. On a language course in China, you’ll be taught how to get to know Chinese people and how to make lasting friendships. This knowledge is based on the philosophical teachings of Confucius. Once you learn these things you’ll begin to understand why China usually remains a mystery to tourists from other cultures, and why you are able to decode its secrets. In Japan, you’ll learn how to eat fresh fish and vegetables with a pair of chopsticks, how to paint the beautiful Japanese characters by hand and when and why it is appropriate to bow upon meeting someone.

By the Red Sea in Egypt, Bedouin tribes will invite you into their tents and show you how they manage to survive with so little water in the middle of the desert. At the language school in Dahab, Egypt, you’ll learn about the Bedouin legal system, which the head of our school has studied for many years. You’ll learn when and why people in Arabic countries place their hand on their heart, and on what occasions you should give thanks to God.

In South America you will be captivated by stories from the colonial times. During your language course, you may even have the time to learn a few words of Quechan, the language of the native people of South America, so that you know how to ask the way to the lost city of Machu Picchu.

Ushuaia, at the southernmost tip of Argentina, is both the beginning and the end of the world. The undisturbed natural beauty of the Tierra del Fuego (‘Land of Fire’) islands ranges from towering mountains and snowy glaciers to the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Adventurers often set off from here for Antarctic expeditions. We offer the unmissable opportunity to combine a Spanish course here with a course in another Argentinian city. This way, you can experience even more of this incredible country. You may choose to book a 4-week Spanish course and split it, spending 3 weeks in Buenos Aires and one week in Ushuaia.

We would be happy to offer any help or advice you may require in planning your trip to one of our most exotic destinations. Please contact us on:

Quality Guarantee. You can rely on us!

Unlike many other language schools, we pride ourselves on putting together groups consisting of language learners from all over the world.
