Language course


A language course is the perfect way to learn a language. It is particularly motivating to combine a language course with a relaxing holiday. Studies show that learning a language is easier if you learn together in a group and make new friends. And the same studies confirm that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is highest when you learn in a language school right by the sea, where after class, sun, beach, swimming, sports, and excursions by boat are offered.



In the international language school DUBROVNIK LANGUAGE SCHOOL "QUEEN MARY" we have tried to create an ideal combination of the pleasant and the useful. We are one of the most popular English language schools in Croatia and in this part of Europe. This popularity is reinforced by our location in the center of Dubrovnik, because this city enchants with its unique location and beauty. We can offer all students who want to learn Croatian in Croatia themselves an unforgettable Croatian language holiday in Dubrovnik. At the same time, we enable travelers who want to experience Dubrovnik with children, Dubrovnik with teenagers or Dubrovnik with family. Our English courses, Croatian courses or German courses are one of the most attractive leisure activities in Dubrovnik.
