English courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival English - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying English usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these English classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in English culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in English.

Worthing
Worthing is a large seaside town on the south coast of England, with a population of almost 100,000. Often considered a retirement home, Worthing in fact has an active underground culture, with the area well-known for smugglers all the way back to the 18th century. The town is more than just a sleepy fishing village. It has a rich archaeological history: many Roman coins, tiles and other pottery have been discovered in several parts of the town. Worthing Pier has stood firm since 1862, which is hardly surprising given the town's crime rate, which is far lower than the national average.
