Language Programs in Switzerland

If you’re interested in a new adventure, consider language learning abroad in Switzerland! This country has four official languages—German, French, Italian, and Romansh (a derivative of the language spoken in ancient Rome), so there’s plenty to keep you busy. Switzerland, officially known as the Swiss Confederation, offers more than 37 other languages you can hear, study, and speak as well. Add to this the benefits of clean and crisp air, convenient travel options, organizational efficiency, and gorgeous vistas, and you can see why language courses in Switzerland are a great choice!

A Top-Tier Learning Experience

From level A2, I successfully prepared and passed the DELF B2 exam in 10 months. Compared to other language schools in Geneva, ELFI offers the best combination of quality and affordability. Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning French! Here are the reasons that made this experience the best for me. • You can join classes anytime during the year • Online and in-person options available • Diverse teaching materials and interactive approach • Highly professional teachers • Exceptional support and individual attention • Management is student-oriented

I really liked this school

I studied at the Elfi school between December 2013 and June 2014. I really appreciated the teachers, they really listen and are very competent in working with each student. We had a good atmosphere in the class with the foreign students, I really liked it. At the end of my studies, I obtained my Delf B2 diploma. The school is not far from the train station so very practical. You will be happy there.

When you’re studying the Italian language abroad in Lugano, you can visit museums, attend festivals, and participate in any number of outdoor activities from boating, to hiking, to sports like soccer and tennis.

Zurich. If you want to study German in Switzerland, you’ll find exciting opportunities to pursue language study in Zurich, a progressive urban center with world-renowned museums, parks, and world heritage sites. You can also go clubbing one night and to an opera the next, or sports in the afternoon followed by a traditional Swiss dinner and drinks.
