Course Summary

Important Information

Please be aware that Bogota, like some other Latin American cities, can sometimes be unsafe and you should remain vigilant about maintaining your personal safety and avoiding petty crime. The majority of our clients' language holidays to these locations are trouble free but we do recommend that you avoid going out after dark where possible.

All International students must have medical insurance prior to arriving in Colombia.

Host Family

Single, Breakfast

Staying with a host family is without doubt one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the language and culture of a country. They may not speak your language but that's all part of the learning experience - and fun! All host families are carefully selected and located within walking distance, or a short bus ride, of the school. You stay in a single room and receive meals as stated (bed & breakfast, half board or full board). Most families can cater for special dietary requirements, bed linen is provided, and laundry service and towels are sometimes included. A key is given to the outside door so you can come and go as you please. If for any reason you do not wish to eat at home please just notify the family in advance. It's great to experience the different cultural aspects of living with a family, such as different food and meal times, but please respect these too. We also suggest that you take some pictures of your family, friends and home as these can act as useful props for discussion.
