WELCOME to the English Language Learning holiday retreat, a unique opportunity for one or two learners to immerse themselves in a homestay experience with Englishplus, run by Martina Heintke! Martina is not only a passionate nature photographer and printmaker, but also a qualified TEFL tutor, making this retreat an enriching blend of language learning and creative exploration.

During your stay, Martina will create a customized daily activity plan tailored to your specific language goals and interests. Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, enhance your writing abilities, or expand your vocabulary, Martina will guide you through engaging and interactive learning sessions.

Every outing with her serves as an opportunity to share her love of capturing the beauty of nature – a smartphone is all you will need – to help you develop your photographic skills and create stunning visual memories.

At Englishplus language-learning is centered around the concept of ‘learning by doing’ and by fully immersing the learner in everyday activities, done with your tutor in the tutor’s home and local environment. You’ll stay in Martina’s cosy and welcoming home. You’ll shop for groceries, cook dinner, go out for dinner, or watch a movie – all the while engaging in conversation and immersing yourself in British and local culture. All of which will greatly enhance your language learning experience, since the focus is entirely on you, the individual learner. Flexibility in approach and lots of contact time with your tutor are key! We work together to make your language holiday memorable and to get you to speak English with greater confidence.

Come and join us for a personal language-learning holiday like no other. Leave with improved English, breath-taking photographs, and unforgettable memories.
