English, Castle & Culture Course

Learn English. Explore Wales. Discover its history.

Experience Wales while improving your English with City School of Languages.

Our English, Castles & Culture programme combines English language learning with visits to some of the castles, museums, historic buildings and cultural attractions that make Wales such a fascinating place to explore.

Based in Swansea, students will develop their English in the classroom and then have opportunities to use it while travelling, sightseeing and discovering British history and culture.

It is an English course with a difference — combining language learning, exploration and memorable experiences across Britain.​

​Learn English & Explore Britain

Develop your speaking, listening, vocabulary and communication skills in the classroom, then put your English into practice while travelling and exploring with your classmates.
