Learn English in Cape Town
The mother city
Cape Town is a vibrant, colorful and lively city, known to be one the most beautiful cities in the world. It is sunny all year round and ideal for the language traveler.
This city is also known for its enormous hospitality and for being less xenophobic than other South African cities. You will find the locals to be very friendly and easygoing in nature.
With its stunning location, tucked into the arms of a broad bay, surrounded by wild, white-sand beaches and set against the canvas of Table Mountain, Cape Town is affectionately nicknamed the Mother City, with world famous attractions such as Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Cape of Good Hope.
The Language School in Cape Town
In Cape Town we recommend:
Good Hope Studies
Good Hope Studies is one of the best established English language schools in South Africa. Our students benefit from the wealth of experience and knowledge we have built over the years. Good Hope Studies offers you a choice of two locations, either the suburb Newlands or the City Centre:
The language school in Newlands offers a unique setting in a quiet, green residential area with gardens and swimming pools, yet it is very close to shopping areas and public transport.
The City Centre school is located in an up-market office building in a pedestrian area. At the same time you are right in the heart of Cape Town, able to enjoy this vibrant city.
