Sydney is one of the great cities on our planet. Its energy is young, dynamic and multi-cultural. It has great weather and a real beach and surf culture. Sydney has a population of almost 5 million which means that no matter what your favourite sport, culture or entertainment, you will find it in Sydney. Be careful: The Sydney lifestyle is addictive! Many of our Sydney students go back a second and third time.
Sydney Opera House: The Ship Song written by Nick Cave
Sydney is big. So, we at The Language House work with three quality schools in three different quartiers of this great city. You can study near the mythic Bondi beach, in the city centre or a three minute walk from the idyllic Manly surf beach. Whichever school you choose, Sydney will put a big smile on your face.
