Knowing the local language is one of the best ways to learn about the culture of a new country and to connect with a new community. It also makes it easier to navigate daily life as a TEFL trainee or English teacher abroad. So as an added benefit to your TEFL training course, some locations offer language and cultural programs to help you adjust to your new destination and experience the people, customs, and local attractions on a deeper level.
Language and cultural classes are included in your TEFL course in the following locations:
Argentina—Two weeks of intensive group Spanish classes plus cultural excursions prior to your 4-week TEFL training course (or one week of classes prior to your 2-week Accelerated TEFL course).
Brazil—Two weeks of intensive group Portuguese classes plus cultural excursions prior to your 4-week TEFL training course (or one week of classes prior to your 2-week Accelerated TEFL course).
