Anyone over 50 can of course still take a standard language course - my mother is one example, when she joined me on an Italian language holiday in Taormina. She loved being in a class of mixed ages, including young college students - it kept her on her toes! Our specialist courses for the over 50s are for those who prefer to mix with people of a similar age and of similar interests. In many cases the pace is more relaxed and it feels more like a holiday, combining aspects of culture with social activities. We have had very positive feedback from these courses. We hope you continue your language learning! Thanks for your comments Hugh.

I am 58 but they were full of people straight out of a Saga holidays brochure! I think I brought down the average considerably. If you want to keep the grey cells working and only be as young as you feel I'd take a regular course and not one of these 50+ courses where you will spend time with members of God's waiting room.
