Description
Perth is the capital of Western Australia. It is a city full of life, sun washed and bathed in a Mediterranean climate of long summers and mild winters. Situated between the Swan River and the Indian Ocean, it separated from all other Australian cities by the enormous Australian desert. Perth’s enormous popularity as a destination for travellers is due to the unique combinations of a metropolis and water sports paradise.
At only a few hundred meters from the city centre begins the true Australian wilderness. From Mt. Eliza one has a panoramic view over the city, the lake, the river and surrounds. Further inland there are vineyards and farms and the Outback is not far. The language academy Sprachcaffe Perth – English School is found on the Taylor College Perth campus and on the Murdoch University Campus, south of the city.

Accommodation
In Perth, Sprachcaffe English School offers accommodation to its students in carefully selected Australian family homes, with half board and with a choice between individual or shared rooms. Students can also choose to stay in one of the university campus residences.

Academics
The key to a fast, progressive and lasting training effect is the conversational principle. From the very beginning all efforts of the teachers at Sprachcaffe Perth – English School are channelled toward a fluid and lively exchange which is essential so that each new detail of the learning experience can be applied practically and in this way go on to form part of the vocabulary and ready to use in a natural and spontaneous way. It is evident that with such high expectations, close individual attention must be guaranteed to each student. Therefore, learning groups are usually made up of a maximum of 15 students. There is a choice between the Standard Course (4 daily lessons, 20 lessons per week) and the Intensive Course (6 daily lessons, 30 lessons per week). Cambridge Certificate Preparation Courses are also offered.

Activities
The city offers many possibilities for leisure activities, with very varied surroundings, such as fantastic beaches along the Indian Ocean, among others. Excursions to Fremantle (19 kilometres south) a port town preserving colonial styles and Rottnest Island (19 kilometres north) are also possible. Students can participate in a large range of sports in Perth, including swimming in the ocean, diving, tennis, fishing, basketball, sailing or surfing.
