Day Tripper English refresher.

What is it?

You're going to England on holiday. You can speak English. You’ve taken loads of lessons and you’ve aced Duolingo. So why do you feel so scared every time you need to speak?

‘Day Tripper’ is a song by the Beatles. It means a person who visits somewhere just for the day.

For one day, from 10.30am -6.30pm, you’ll be a Brighton Day Tripper.

Come on this intensive refresher course in Brighton. In a safe and supportive space you'll use all of your English from morning until evening. You’ll practice in the lively streets and pebbly beaches of Brighton. By the end of the day you will be ready to confidently speak English to anybody in any situation for the rest of your holiday.

No more fear.

Feel good in English.
