Perfect Location for Language Learning

Brighton is ideal for the Jo Lingo English immersions course for many reasons. Firstly, it's a friendly, open-minded city where locals are happy to chat with visitors. The compact city centre means everything is within walking distance – from beach to shops to cultural attractions.

Unlike London, Brighton is less overwhelming and more welcoming for language learners. Yet with direct trains to London taking just one hour, it's easy to visit the capital too.

Most importantly, Brighton offers countless real-life English situations in a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're ordering coffee in a café, asking directions on the beach promenade, or chatting with shop owners in The Lanes, you'll practice English naturally throughout the day. The city becomes your classroom, making it the perfect place to build your confidence in English.

Historical Seaside Destination

Brighton is the perfect place for our English immersion programs with its beauty, friendly people, and rich culture.

Brighton is on the south coast of England, 50 miles/ 85 km from London.

Until King George IV started sea swimming in Brighton, it was just a small fishing village. In the late 1700’s, he began visiting often, built the Royal Pavilion, and soon the village became a popular town for rich and famous Londoners.

When a new direct train line from London to Brighton was built, normal people could now visit easily and the town became a favourite holiday spot for everyone.

Today's Brighton still has beautiful old buildings, but it's much more than just "London by the sea." In 2001, Brighton and Hove became a city. It has two universities, many art events, a Premier League football team, the famous Brighton Pier and beach, unique shops, cosy pubs, exciting nightlife, and the beautiful South Downs National Park nearby.

Visitors from all over the world come to Brighton, the UK's most loved seaside destination.

Brighton Pavilion- a palace with multiple domes and minarets under a cloudy sky, surrounded by the Brighton pavilion park and gardens. Jo Lingo English immersion program students love the guided tours here.
