The best way to learn a language is total immersion in the culture of the country. When students leave the classroom here on the ranch, they do not revert to their native language, from eating all meals together to learning how to saddle and ride a horse, English is the only language used.
It is this continuity, speaking and listening to English 24/7 that really improves their language ability.
Here on the ranch, students are accommodated and fed on the ranch (also included in the tuition fee).
Classroom study is relaxed and informal
They study in the classroom in the mornings and in the afternoons they mix with the ranch staff and learn to saddle and ride the horses “Western” style while they continue to improve their language skills — all at no extra cost!
Beginner and Elementary level students with a basic grasp of English will get the most benefit from the course, gaining both better grammar and communication skills. Students at low and high Intermediate level will gain more fluency and the vocabulary necessary to work and play in the outdoors in an English-speaking environment while Advanced level students will become much more fluent and confident in their English abilities. Once students become confident, their communication skills develop very quickly as they move towards their goal of sounding like a native English speaker.
Successful students receive their certificates
Upon successful completion of the course, students are presented with a certificate that highlights their achievements and gives them a wonderful reminder of their time with us on the ranch and surrounded by nature.
