Want to Learn English – Go to Slovenia
Slovenia is the best country for freelancers and here’s why:
- When you study English in Slovenia, you will immediately immerse yourself in the language environment. Experienced teachers will get talking. At first, you will start speaking confidently during the classes, and then – in your everyday life. In Slovenia, you don’t have to go far afield for this – the majority of the country’s inhabitants speak English fluently. Slovenes are friendly and willing to enter into conversation with foreigners.
- Living in Slovenia, you will be able to explore its beauty while practicing the language. For tourists and expats, Slovenia offers a huge selection of tours, cultural events, sports activities (rafting, trekking, kayaking, etc.) with English-speaking support.
- You will have time for both work and learning the language. English classes will be held 2–3 times a week for 2 hours each. The rest of the time will be at your complete disposal.
- Both when studying and at work, you will be inspired by gorgeous views of nature, while clean air will help your brain work better. The one-year English courses in Slovenia are held in two cities – Ljubljana and Celje. Both cities are truly captivating. Why to stay at home when you can see so many new beautiful places?
- Time is money. You will spend every hour of your chosen language course with benefit and in a meaningful way. You will pay EUR 4–5 per hour to learn English, while you can earn three times more – at foreign freelance platforms, the rates for your work will be completely different. At the same time, your budget for studying at English language courses in Slovenia will be comparable to the cost of living in your home country.
