Learn English in our international language school Brighton
Brighton is not only a highly traditional and typically English seaside resort, but also a young and exciting city. This well-established tourist centre - for British people as well as for foreigners – has a reputation as one of the UK’s most popular party destinations and it is not by chance that it is known as “London on Sea”. It is especially famous for its piers, which are no longer used for the landing of ships but as a tourist area resembling a fair, where the international students from Brighton meet. And there are lots of them, as Brighton not only has several universities but is also very popular amongst pupils trying to learn English. Another highlight in Brighton is the Royal Pavilion with its exotic appearance - a palace once built by King George IV. Located directly on the shore of the English Channel, Brighton also impresses with its beautiful beaches and chalk cliffs, from which you have a magnificent view over the Channel.
