Feel-good English retreat.

What is it?

You've studied English for years. You know tenses, phrasal verbs, conditionals, even some idioms…. but when it's time to speak, everything vanishes. Your confidence drops, stress rises, and you freeze.

Jo-Lingo's 7-day immersive retreat in Brighton solves this problem. Together with five other participants, you'll live in our retreat house and use English from morning until night. Instead of traditional classrooms, you learn in the vibrant streets and pebbly beaches of Brighton, as you participate in projects, activities, games, and real-world communication challenges.

In just one week, you'll transform your relationship with English—replacing fear with confidence, hesitation with fluency, and anxiety with enjoyment.

No more fear.

Feel good in English.

  • Real-world communication challenges in shops, restaurants, and local businesses

  • Group projects and creative tasks
