This programme is an ideal way in which you can experience local South African cultures and learn basic English while doing so. Languages, especially English, will fade with time if not practiced which is why you can choose to stay at our SASTS Hostel or with a host family which provide volunteers with the opportunity to practice what they are learning on their English course.
