Aimed at adults aged 40 and over, it combines General English lessons (or German in Zurich) with a programme of social and cultural activities. Classes take place in the mornings in a mixed-age, international setting, while three afternoons each week are dedicated to activities designed specifically for the 40+ group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights of our recent Club 40+ group in Auckland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, in March 2026, our Club 40+ group from Taiwan joined LSI Auckland and fully immersed themselves in the Club 40+ programme. Through a mix of classes and thoughtfully planned activities, they discovered Auckland\u2019s rich culture, history and local way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group explored the Auckland Museum, wandered through Mission Bay, visited Waiheke Island and spent a day at Auckland Zoo, among many other adventures! Along the way, they experienced local customs, enjoyed wine tasting, took scenic nature walks and used English in real situations while discovering Auckland, improving their English through real-world experiences. By combining classroom learning with hands-on experiences, the group not only improved their language skills but also gained a deeper appreciation of <strong>Auckland\u2019s culture and community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-1024x556.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-1024x556.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-300x163.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-768x417.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-200x109.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_-690x375.jpeg 690w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot_8-4-2026_161017_www.canva_.com_.jpeg 1106w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LSI destinations offering Club 40+<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the Club 40+ programme in London, Cambridge, Brighton, Toronto, Vancouver, Auckland or Zurich, and enjoy a unique experience combining language learning with cultural and social activities tailored for adults aged 40 and over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read our latest newsletter here: <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/lsi\/club40-programme\">Club 40+: A Journey Into Language, Culture and New Perspectives + Special Discounts for LSI Residences in Brighton and Cambridge<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8th April 2026 What is the Club 40+ programme?
