GoLanguages 2023 is a unique, inspiring language event, run in association with the UK’s VICI Language Academy and France’s VICI Languages France in the graceful comfort of the stunning Radisson Blu Edwardian, Vanderbilt in South Kensington, London.

Learning and truly understanding a new language is about so much more than studying books and reciting verb transitions!  And because we’re all unique, not everybody learns in the same way.

That’s why The VICI Language Academy and VICI Languages France have an ethos that centres around understanding their clients’ individual needs, desires, and linguistic objectives, focussing on a communicative approach.   VICI also advocates blended learning, combining in-class and out-of-class learning, using a range of books, interactive online exercises, games, brainteasers, and more.

Nothing can replace the immersion and engagement of face-to-face conversation and that’s where GoLanguages 2023 comes in – a natural extension of the blended learning methodology, with the emphasis on interaction.

Intimate, engaging and packed-full of opportunities for cultural connections, GoLanguages 2023 is like an express exchange programme across one intensive weekend. Under the careful supervision of experienced and qualified language coaches, attendees from both sides of the channel will be given guided, structured activities to undertake together in order to progress their shared aims of developing their communication skills in their target language in an engaging and social context.

And because the best learning takes place when one is happy, comfortable and at ease, GoLanguages 2023 will be taking place at the stylish and welcoming Radisson Blu Edwardian, Vanderbilt located in South Kensington with the Natural History Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and the famous boutiques of Knightsbridge all within walking distance.

GoLanguages 2023 is for people learning English or French as a second language.  We welcome all levels of fluency and confidence – this event is about leveraging cultural connections as a springboard for linguistic exchange, so don’t hesitate if your grammar is a bit rusty or your vocabulary needs brushing up! We’ll ensure you are exposed to exactly the right level of activities for you. If you’re in any doubt or want to understand more, simply contact us and we can help provide resources to assess your current language level.

GoLanguages 2023 was conceived and implemented by Nathalie Danon, director of the award winning VICI Language Academy in the UK, and VICI Languages France in France.

Nathalie arrived in the UK in September 2000 with big ambitions to make the most of her bilingualism! After several years of successful private language coaching, in 2008 Nathalie opened The VICI Language Academy, now in its 14th year and going from strength to strength.

A corporate enterprise – VICI Language Dynamics – followed in 2012, and after further growth in 2019 Nathalie expanded into the French market with VICI Languages France.
