Wherever you go in the world, you’ll find that practically everybody knows some form of English. However, it is the extent of your English language interpretation that will determine whether you’re an appropriate candidate for a brief holiday or long term residence.

When non English-speaking people go on holiday they’ll generally get by knowing only a few words and phrases. But, if you find that a country’s lifestyle, culture, amenities, sights, sounds and overall vibe are particularly attractive, and you decide that living or working there is what you want to do, then you’ll need to study English.

New Zealand is perhaps the most popular country in the world for people to choose to study English. It is a friendly country with a multi-cultural society - a reflection of just how many foreign speaking people decide to study there.

In order to get the best education at a highly established learning institute, you’ll need to go to an English school in Auckland. As the country’s largest city, Auckland is the ideal location to ply your English speaking trade.
