Welcome to the EF Family

Dear student,

Welcome to your EF Language Year Abroad. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you explore a new destination, meet new friends and dedicate yourself to fluency in another language. You’ll head home at the end of your program with an international network for life – not to mention the academic credentials you’ll need to bring your professional dreams to life. You’ll make maximum progress by learning a language where it’s natively spoken – and gain confidence as you make your destination your home.

We’ll ensure that you have dedicated support to make the most of your time abroad, while you set personal and educational goals for the coming months to benchmark your success. This handbook will provide the information you need for your stay abroad – from arrival and your first day of class to settling into a new culture. Take a little time to read through it and be sure to bring it to your destination as you never know when you’ll need to find out more about something.

Good luck and travel safely – we’re looking forward to welcoming you at one of our campuses worldwide.

Sincerely,

Your EF team
