How to make language courses abroad cheaper? When you do an exchange program to learn English, you pay not only for the course but also for accommodation and food. And, in most cases, the cost of accommodation ends up being higher than the cost of the course itself! A great tip is to combine your English course with volunteering. That way, the only thing you need to pay is the cost of the course, since your accommodation and food will be part of the benefit of volunteering. WORLDPACKERS DISCOUNT COUPON ($10 OFF): VIDAMOCHILERAWP LINK TO DISCOUNT: https://bit.ly/2O0woSs Important note: When you volunteer, you always get accommodation and (almost always) food, but the costs of transportation, travel insurance and tourist visa (if necessary, as in the USA, Canada and Australia), as well as tours and excursions are the responsibility of the traveler. Volunteering is exchanging your skills (and a few hours of your day) for accommodation and food. You work between 3 and 5 hours a day on the volunteer project you choose (with days off) and then have the whole day to spend however you want (whether it's sightseeing or studying a new language). In England, for example, you can stay up to 6 months as a tourist (and studying) without needing a visa and there are several volunteer options that provide accommodation, 3 meals a day and other benefits. Take a look at these volunteer options in England. The volunteer platform that I, Maryana, use is Worldpackers and it is present in over 130 countries. Not only does volunteering save you money, but you also practice 24 hours a day everything you learn in your English (or another language) course! If you're curious to learn more about volunteering while traveling, I wrote a complete post about how Worldpackers works. The only thing you need to do is let your volunteer partner know that you also intend to take a language course, so that your schedules don't conflict. Ideally, you should let the host know this during the chat, even before you travel. Once everything is in order, all you have to do is buy your ticket and go! You need to invest $49.00 per year (around R$22 reais per month) to become a Worldpackers member and have access to job applications, chats with hosts, confirmation of acceptance of accommodation, support from Worldpackers before, during and after your trip and a verified account that increases your chances of being accepted by hosts. Using the promotional code VIDAMOCHILEIRAWP you get a $10.00 discount and pay only $39.00 to travel unlimited (for 12 months) wherever you want without paying for accommodation and often without spending, or spending very little, on food.
