City School of Languages (CSL) is located in Swansea.
Swansea is a small city located next to the beach.
The closest airport to Swansea is Cardiff Airport (75 minutes
by train). Swansea is easily accessible from other
international airports.
You can get to Swansea by either train, coach or taxi. There
are excellent train connections between London
Paddington train station and Swansea. A train leaves from
London Paddington every hour.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT CLASS FOR YOU! City School of Languages runs classes from
Beginner all the way to Advanced level.
CSL offers a choice of General English, Exam Preparation and
Private Tuition courses, which are available at different levels.
In order to place you in the right level class, please complete our
online placement test before you leave home. Once you have
completed the test, we can then inform you of your level before
you arrive.
If you can’t do the online placement test, our support staff will
give you a short placement test. On the day you arrive, you will
also have a speaking test with the Vice-Principal or Director of
Studies. Our team will then place you in the correct English class
which will be challenging and enjoyable for you.
ABOUT CITY SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES
LEVELS AVAILABLE WHO WE ARE Founded in 2006, CSL is accredited by Accreditation UK (British
Council and English UK). Our professional and caring team of
teachers and support staff look forward to helping you.
We continue to check your progress during your stay with
us. If in your first week you or we feel that the class you have
been placed in is too easy or too hard, we will talk to you and
if necessary change your class in order to make sure that you
make the best possible progress at the right level.
Our maximum class size is 15. In extreme and rare circumstances the stated maximum class might be exceeded. If this does happen, it will be only by one person for a very limited period. Courses may not run as advertised if there are not enough students on the course (for example, examination courses). CSL reserves the right to offer an alternative option to students in this case, for example a reduced number of lessons for all or part of the course. We accept beginners on our courses by prior arrangement. If you are a beginner please contact us for available start dates. If we determine that you are at beginner level after your arrival, we reserve the right to offer you the equivalent number of private lessons at no additional cost. Our courses are primarily for students aged 18 and older. While we welcome students aged 17, please note we cannot provide 24 hour supervision. Please read our Safeguarding and Care of Under 18s Policies before booking a course for a student aged under 18. These are available at www.cityschooloflanguages.co.uk/safeguarding

DESTINATION SWANSEA
URBAN SWANSEA & THE GOWER
Swansea is the perfect destination for you if you
are looking for a friendly city located by the sea.
Swansea has everything that you need and more
without the huge crowds of a major city. Swansea
is also generally cheaper and is a much more
liveable city than many places in the United
Kingdom.
If you enjoy nature and fresh air, Swansea is most
certainly the answer for you. The Gower
peninsula was the first area of the United
Kingdom to be designated as an area of
outstanding natural beauty. With rolling hills
surrounded by kilometres of open water, when
you visit you will truly understand why. The most
famous beach is called Rhossili and it is a must-
visit. It is frequently voted as one of the top
beaches in the world.
Because of the size and geography of the area,
there is a wide choice of adventure sports that
you can enjoy. From surfing to rock climbing,
Swansea is the place for it.
If you want more information about activities, or
if you would like us to arrange an activity for you,
please let us know in advance.

United Kingdom. Swansea is the perfect location for beginners
and surfers of all levels to learn and enjoy this sport. If you

Swansea, please ask us.
HORSE RIDING
Swansea is an excellent location for horse riding. With views of
the bay and forests, take a ride through the beautiful Welsh

scrambling and jumping your way through our breath taking
scenery is a must for any adventurous Gower visitor.

IELTS Exam Tips And Techniques
Timothée’s success story
Timothée needed to achieve an IELTS score of 5 in order to attend a hospitality college in Geneva, Switzerland. Timothée was nervous when he arrived at the school and was unsure about making friends with the other students. We specifically placed Timothée in quite an active homestay to ensure that he would get the most from his stay in Swansea. On Timothée’s first day at the school, we could see that he was a worrier. Our staff at the school nurtured him and introduced him to other students. After two weeks, Timothée’s confidence was starting to show. After helping Timothée for two months and giving him extra homework as requested, Timothée was ready for his IELTS test. We received his results just before Christmas. It was wonderful to discover that Timothée had scored a 5.5 in his IELTS test and could therefore begin his specialist studies.

Maria from Spain
“I’ve been studying the FCE class for 5 months. I can say that
attending the FCE class is really helpful for improving my
English. It allows me to get my writing better, my listening and
my speaking. Furthermore, every day I feel more confident
speaking English and this is really good when you aren’t a
native speaker. For all of these reasons, I think to come to this
academy is the best way to achieve a good level of English.”
