We are already at January 31, perfect date to review the progress in the New Year's resolutions. Let's see ... you haven't been to the gym even half of the times you had proposed, right? Ains, and the kilos earned with the nougat and cannelloni of the grandmother there continue, more faithful than Totti to Rome. And what about learning or improving English? You promised it the last time you saw Game of Thrones subtitled or when that handsome man asked you "Is this seat taken?" You answered “yes, thank you” because you had no idea what he was saying and missed the chance to have handsome and bilingual children. Well this year yes!
Having a certain level of English with which to be able to communicate, even in a basic way, is something very important, and the best thing to realize is to travel abroad. So stop buying new clothes! Take off those little vices and try save all you can for your next adventure: a course to learn English abroad, a trip that will be a linguistic immersion, which will take you to discover an incredible destination and that will allow you to return with the best souvenir of all ... speak English!
Is it an expensive trip? Let's say it's not cheap, but the money invested in discovering a new country and empowering oneself is the best spent. And there are many ways to save money, as we already told you. Do you want to know what are the best destinations to learn English? We have it clear:
Ok, the capital of Ireland may not enjoy a very attractive climate, but if we talk about attraction, we assure you that Dublin is like a magnet. And what about the landscapes of Ireland? Of the fish & chips? Of the Irish accent? And uh, there is no place in the world with so much redhead per square meter. You may also find twice as much of Ed Sheran waiting for you (to practice English, of course). And let's not overlook a very important detail: Guinness. You take a pint and your linguistic ability improves instantly. You take 2 and you already speak with a Galway accent. Or that is what we believe when we are piripi ... it is best that you go to class and go.

Malta is one of the closest and cheapest destinations to learn English, but it is also a beautiful island, full of history and landscapes that will make you want to make pellets as soon as you land at school. You can get lost in fishing villages, bathe in crystalline beaches or eat local delicacies, but don't even think about looking for the famous Blue Window, because it fell -_- Do you know what else will plummet? The chances of finding a better job if you don't learn English at once!

Why cross the world to learn English in Sydney when you could do it in Benidorm London? For several reasons: koalas, kangaroos, surfers and quokkas, 4 of the most achuchable animals in the world, but there is much more ... Australia has thousands and thousands of beaches, it is the mecca of world surfing, it has dream places and a thousand and one things to do. Come on, it's impossible to get bored on the other side of the world!
Ok, you convinced me you will say, but it is that flying to the antipodes is very expensive, you will say. Well, this is where you are wrong. And we tell you well informed: we found a ticket from Sydney to Athens for about € 240 with the company Scoot! So for € 500-600 you have the flights to go and return.

You weren't expecting it, huh? Let us tell you that the westernmost Asian city of all is another of the perfect destinations to learn English. The best thing is that, in your spare time, you will be able to dive in an exciting culture, a mixture of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian immigration ... a brutal mix that will make you fall in love, you'll see. And if your body asks you for some gear, just go to the airport and, in a couple of hours and for a handful of euros, stand in destinations such as Bali, Thailand or the Philippines. Everything is to practice English with other travelers, of course!

It is the destination that we chose when, for a month, we were improving our Anglophone qualities, which on the other hand were quite (very) oxidized. The experience was great and Auckland seemed a success. We had a great time because we not only improved a lot (and in a short time!) But we also met many people from all over the world (Brazil, Indonesia, Germany, France ...) with whom we still keep in touch. And in spare time you can take the opportunity to deepen the Maori culture, visit places like Hobbiton, caves of luminous worms or climb a volcano, in the same city, to freak out with the panorama.

Raise your hand who never dreamed of spending a season in New York. We do not have enough hands to express the desire to live in the most amazing city in the world. New York is the place where everything is possible, yes, where even with a $ 1 hotdog in your hand you can walk down 5th Avenue and feel a hybrid between Audrey Hepburn and the housewife pigeon lady. Or climb the Empire. Or cross the Brooklyn Bridge. Or spend hours and hours in front of the MoMa cadres. Or zamparte a burke of Shake Shack and find peace of the senses. Or learn English! Seriously. New York is the milk.

And now, choose a destination, save and repeat with us this mantra: “Spanglish is over and I invented the words of the English songs! This year I will learn to speak better than Queen Isabé! ”
Good luck!
