Live Languages Abroad was born out of a passion for languages. With 14 years of experience in the Language Travel Industry I wanted to be able to help students to experience the enjoyment that comes from learning a language. Learning a language is a life skill by which you can reap so many rewards.
Not only is it an amazing feeling to be able to communicate with someone in their own language, it also: improves your cultural awareness, enhances your learning ability, increases your confidence, helps your career prospects, gives you a taste for travel and the opportunity to make life long friends from all around the world.

Organising my gap year trip to Valencia through Live Languages Abroad genuinely couldn't have been easier. Gemma provided me with all the information and advice I needed, answering any questions or doubts I had very promptly and efficiently. The school, the city and the flat I'm staying in are everything I hoped for and more! - I intend to stay on an extra couple weeks as my time here has flown by! Gemma has been really attentive and helpful whenever I have needed to get in touch with her and it's been great not having to worry about sorting out any paper work as it is all done for you - I've been

Over the month of July 2017 I was set up in Lisbon, Portugal for 4 weeks. I was super nervous about the entire process before flying out of Canada, but Gemma was absolutely amazing in reassuring me that everything would work out and was always quick with her responses to any questions I had. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the course and Gemma was available ASAP to help me transition out of the school and revolve any remaining details. Everyone was extremely kind, both with Live Languages Abroad and the school in Lisbon, and I would absolutely recommend this service to friends and family

Live Languages Abroad provided me with everything i needed to get my year abroad set up! At first, the thought of having to find accommodations, schooling, meal plan... etc was daunting. But after booking with them I felt very confident going into my GAP year in Valencia, Spain.. It really is something to know you do not have to worry about many of the details and are just able to relax and jump into a once in a lifetime experience!

I recently went on a 4 week trip to Venice, Italy, booking through Live Languages Abroad as part of my gap year. I feel it was such a worthwhile decision to use LLA as they made planning and organising my trip so easy and I could be confident that everything was taken care of. I had so many questions and queries along the way but always received a very quick and helpful response. I really couldn't fault the whole process and will be booking next year's trip again with Live Languages Abroad!

I surfed the web looking for an agency fulfilling my specification for a short course of language lessons combined with an attractive overseas environment. I latched on to 'live languages' because of the comprehensive information on web site and the simple application process. I received a quotation shortly after submission of my application. All my subsequent follow-up questions were answered promptly by Gemma.
I did a short course in beginners French in 2014 and another in German in 2015. I am now in the process of organising yet another in Italian. I have taken it on myself to arrange the travel

I went to Madrid with live languages abroad to study a language course, everything was arranged so efficiently and well and I would highly recommend the company to anyone. Gemma was so helpful and so was the language school. I would definitely tell anyone who may not be used to travelling alone to go as it was so easy and well arranged. I would recommend it for any age, it has improved my Spanish speaking skills hugely, to have intensive courses with native teachers as well as being immersed in the language all day every day.

I have just returned from a six week course studying Spanish in Madrid, and decided to go with live languages abroad on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so happy I did, from the accommodation to the school, the teachers and all the people I met, everything was even better than I could of expected! The support I received from Gemma was second to none and all efforts were made to make me feel comfortable on my journey.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Live Languages and Gemma as a provider to anyone looking at studying abroad. Five stars isn't enough!

I am two weeks into a German course in Munich and am thoroughly enjoying the experience so far. The multicultural Carl Duisberg Centrum offers courses for all abilities and takes a pleasantly surprising interest in maximising the development of individual students. Munich is a great place to live with plenty of activities to keep you entertained, whatever your interests.
Live Languages Abroad made the booking process quick and easy and ensured I had all the information I needed prior to departure. I get the impression that they would have been quick and eager to assist with any problems, had I

My name is Joanna Kwiatkowska and I work as Assistant Director at AIL Madrid, a Spanish language school in Madrid. I’m delighted to collaborate with Live Languages Abroad since October 2012. They have been a pleasure to work with and in the last two years we have built up a strong and successful partnership. They have a lot of experience in the sector and offer exceptional customer service; they are unfailingly enthusiastic and positive, are always quick to respond to us, and have an excellent website with clear and detailed information. They also offer a very good selection of Spanish schools

My son just returned from Biarritz after spending 8 weeks there. He had a great time and met lots of fun kids there at the school. He really liked his host family, said that they were so good to him and Marie & Patrice were great to him at the school as well. He managed to do quite a bit of surfing there which was one of his dreams. He has been surfing for years so didn't need to take lessons but Patrice helped him out with a board and wet suit rental. This was my second time dealing with Gemma at Live Languages Abroad and she was wonderful once again! I would really recommend anyone to book through
