  • Warm weather and beaches all year
  • Theme parks and lively city life
  • Relatively affordable living with no state income tax

  • Intensive English: 24-30 lessons a week for those who want to move up a level quickly.
  • TOEFL and IELTS preparation: exam-focused programs for students applying to American universities.
  • One-to-one lessons: to study at your own pace with goals tailored to you.

How Long Do Language Courses in Florida Take?

How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require an F-1 visa are planned in sessions.

Language School Prices and Discounts in Florida

Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.

Admission Requirements for Language Schools in Florida

  • Adult courses usually have a minimum age of 16 or 18.
  • You do not need any English to start; there is a placement test on day one.
  • A valid passport, an enrolment form and a deposit are enough.
  • If you need an F-1 visa, the school issues an I-20 after enrolment and proof of funds.

Application Periods and Start Dates in Florida

Language schools accept students all year round. For programs requiring an F-1 visa, preparing the I-20, paying the SEVIS fee and getting a visa appointment take time, so plan several months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.

Visa for Language Schools in Florida

Your visa type depends on how intensive your course is: an F-1 student visa for programs of more than 18 hours a week, and a tourist visa for shorter, lighter programs. Appointment waiting times can grow at certain times of year, so NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents early.

Working While Studying a Language in Florida

Students on an F-1 visa at a language school are not allowed to work off campus, and working on a tourist visa is prohibited. You should therefore plan your budget for language study in America without relying on income from work.

Accommodation Options in Florida

  • Homestay: the safest and most culturally rich option for first-time travellers abroad.
  • Campus dormitories: the chance to live on campus with university-based programs.
  • Private residences: single or shared rooms close to the school.

Host families near the school in Florida offer students a safe setting rich in language practice.

Cost of Living in Florida

Living costs in Florida are close to the US average and lower than in New York or California.

Getting Around Florida

Public transport in Florida is limited, so staying near your school makes daily life much easier.

Climate in Florida

Florida is warm and sunny all year; summers are humid and rainy, winters mild. June to November is hurricane season.

How to Get to Florida

Direct flights from Istanbul to Miami (MIA) take about 12-13 hours, and Orlando and Tampa are reached with connecting flights.
