The World of EF International Language Schools.
The best way to learn a language is to study where it's natively spoken. EF has International Language Schools located all over the world, in some of the world's most exciting cities.

The EF Method.
The EF Method is based on learning round-the-clock: at the breakfast table, in class, at the museum, on the playing field, around the campfire… We feel we've done our job when you begin dreaming at night in your new language. That's why we've spent nearly 40 years developing results-oriented language lessons.The skills we teach you in class are the tools you'll use throughout the day.
Intensive Course.
The Intensive Course is designed for serious students who need to learn a language for professional or academic reasons as quickly as possible. Teachers cover a wide-ranging syllabus, designed to develop your overall linguistic skills. Their full schedule of varied, absorbing lessons guarantees maximum progress.
Principal Course.
The Principal Course offers comprehensive tuition in the essential language disciplines: reading, writing, speaking and comprehension. Whether for business purposes, personal growth, or university preparation, you'll soon find yourself writing and speaking with greater confidence and clarity
Summer Course.
If you want to travel and learn a new language this summer, this is the course to choose. Everything you learn in class will boost your studies but also add to your enjoyment of free time later in the day as you speak your new language.
TOEFL Exam Preparation.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language is an American examination, but internationally recognized by employers and academic institutions. A high TOEFL score is needed for admission to most American universities and colleges, for example. Our specially designed course can help give you thorough exam preparation in as little as eight weeks. EF students can test their skill level for free using the EFSET, an interactive English test comparable to the TOEFL exam. Test yourself by clicking on the EFSET link at the bottom right of this page.
