How much does a language course abroad cost at OBS! ?

OBS! itself does not organise language courses abroad, but arranges courses from partner schools in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic and Finnish. The course fee is charged by and paid to the respective language school. The costs for the selected language course are listed under the respective course offer (e.g. Learn Danish/Language Courses in Denmark). Please note: By booking a language course abroad via OBS! there are NO additional costs for you!

I would like to book a language course abroad: Will accommodation and meals be organized or do I have to take care of this myself?

There is no general answer to this question. As far as accommodation is concerned, for the majority of language courses you will have to find your own accommodation on site; you will find tips and advice on this on the respective pages. Some schools offer accommodation, either in the course location itself, in another building or even in the teacher’s home. You can find out what applies to your chosen language course in the detailed course description.

Meals are usually organised by the participants themselves. You will find more detailed information on this in the respective course description.

Do the courses abroad also have organised leisure activities?

Some language schools offer optional leisure activities such as guided tours of the city, museum visits, day trips or film evenings, or support you in planning individual activities. You can find out what applies to your course in the respective course description.

I have booked a language course abroad. How do I get to the course location?

As a rule, you organise your own travel arrangements. If you need help with this, we will be happy to give you tips and advice.

I am not 18 yet. Can I still take part in a language course abroad?

Most language schools accept students aged 16 and over. Nevertheless, in this case we ask for a short telephone conversation before booking a course. You can reach us at: +49 951-5193 5757.

Who do I contact if I have questions or problems?
