Don't miss Cardiff Bay, the recently regenerated Cardiff's dockland district, that offers lots of attractions for families.

FAQ about schools in Wales
- I would like to know the exact location of the host family and the distance to the school before booking. Also, I would like to know if I can have a private bathroom.“The different accommodation options offered by the different schools, as well as the distance to the school, are specified on our website, within the profile of each school. Unfortunately, for reasons of privacy of the host families, you will not be able to obtain information from them until your booking is confirmed.
The exact address and further details of the assigned accommodation, regardless of the type of accommodation you've booked, will be received about 7-10 days before the start of the course, once you have paid the booking in full.”Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.net - Apr 22, 2022
