Learn English in Ukraine

Ukraine is probably not the first destination that comes to mind for students looking to expand their English vocabulary and become more fluent in the language. However, many Ukrainians, especially younger ones (likely under 30 years of age) in more densely populated cityscapes will be able or want to speak English with you.

Students looking to be surrounded by potential English-learning opportunities outside of the classroom would do well to situate themselves in Kiev, the country’s largest city. It’s an ideal place to live for anyone as it gives residents the feel of a city without being an overwhelming metropolis.

If you have the desire to study English in Ukraine, we are prepared to provide you with the help and personal advice you will need to navigate the choices and study opportunities. We also provide the latest information about courses, English language institutes, visas and travel procedures to make the study experience fruitful and enjoyable.

What is the cost to study English in Ukraine including housing?

English language courses are incredibly affordable in Ukraine, making it a premier destination to study the language. You can find courses ranging in terms of price based upon the number of lessons per week, how many weeks you intend to attend the program, etc. Prices per month for 20 lessons per week are approximately 380 EUR per month. Additional fees may apply depending on the institute or which region of the country you live in.

Which are best internationally accredited language institutes in Ukraine?

Ukraine language institutes aim to help you improve and develop your language skills no matter your needs or academic level. The following list of accredited institutes have certified teachers with high levels of education:

British Council Ukraine, The Language Village, LAE School, New York Language School, Lead English School, Englishouse, ABC-lingua, and more.

What are the conditions and procedures to get an offer?

English study in Ukraine is considered relatively easy and routine. Ukrainian institutes are versatile and provide different services with different prices, all we need is a copy of your passport, general information, and initial booking fees. Note: study begins every Monday for each week.

What are the benefits of living with a Ukrainian family?

Living with a host family in Ukraine can have many benefits, ranging from cultural immersion to financial savings. Many Ukrainians – especially younger ones closer to city centers – speak English, meaning that living with a host family can give students studying English extra practice around the house, where they can learn even more colloquial terminology and phraseology than they might be taught in courses. Additionally, many benefit while they are far from home with the familial senses provided by living with a host family in the country. They are afforded more opportunities to understand what day-to-day life is in Ukraine, and they can forge relationships that last a lifetime.

What is the required time to secure a language offer with accommodation?

We are able to secure language offers within a day or two and accommodation bookings either within the institute or in external homestay accommodations with a Ukrainian family, lasting the entire length of study, in just a few days.

What are the requirements and methods to apply for a language study visa in Ukraine?

We are able to secure visas for students who desire to travel and study language in Ukraine from anywhere from a few days to no more than three weeks. We can help the student apply for a study visa in advance before the time of travel if we are provided with a bank statement or a financial guarantee, and passport valid for at least 6 months.
