During your stay

Everything you need to know before your arrival

Naturally, you want to be well-prepared before starting your course at Regina Coeli. You receive a great deal of practical information and study tips during your intake appointment and from Client Services. Be sure to take the time to read it all.

Welcome

We welcome you at 8.00 in the morning on your first day of lessons. You then receive a bag with course materials and, if you are staying with us, your room key.

Sunday evening arrivals can check in between 20.00 and 23.00. Please note that on Sundays, we only open our doors at 7.30pm.

On Monday morning, you can meet other course members in bar Chatwell from 8am.


Your Programme

As a student at Regina Coeli, you receive a personalised training programme. An essential aspect of this tailor-made programme is your carefully chosen team of trainers. 

Unless otherwise agreed, your programme consists of four private lessons with native speakers, followed by personal study assignments in your independent study hours.


Requirements for your language training

For self-study, it’s important to have a laptop with a browser, word processor, and headset during your training. You can log in to our secure wireless network via your laptop.

If you do not have a laptop or headset, please feel free to let us know.

Any additional study materials will be provided upon arrival or during your training.


Your schedule

The lesson day starts at 08.20 every morning and lessons last 55 minutes. You also have breaks from:

  • 10.15 to 10.35
  • 12.30 to 13.25 (lunch)
  • 15.20 to 15.40


Before your training starts, you can view your class schedule and the trainers we have selected for you in your personal environment (learn.reginacoeli.nl). If there are any changes, we adjust it immediately in the system. That way, you can always refer to the most recent version of your timetable.


Group activity and language table

In addition to your individual lessons, you will follow a group lesson and two language tables. These are lunchtime or dinnertime sessions during which a language trainer is present at the table and the conversation is in the language you are learning.


Meals

During your training you will be a guest at Regina Coeli all day long. You will also learn the language at informal moments such as during meals. You will then practice with fellow students or students who have your target language as their mother tongue.

Opening times restaurant
Breakfast: 7.00 - 9.00
Lunch: 12.00 - 14.00
Dinner: 17.30 - 21.00


Sports and recreation

A healthy learning environment allows for study time and movement. We encourage you to make use of our fitness room and yoga lessons or borrow a bicycle to take in the wooded surroundings.

Fitness facilities
Course members can use the fitness facilities in the basement free of charge. There is a yoga/weight room and a cardio room.

Yoga lessons
On Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 6.45am and 7.30am, there are yoga classed in the yoga studio with a qualified teacher. You can attend these classes - without prior registration.

 


Staying at Regina Coeli

We recommend letting go of thoughts of work and home while you are taking your course so you can fully focus on learning the language. Staying at Regina Coeli's guest wing will lead to better results than staying elsewhere at the end of your lesson days.
