Getting Around

Glasgow is a small city and travel to and around Glasgow is easy

Getting around Glasgow is easy and you have plenty of choices.

Unfortunately, only student cards from universities, colleges and ISIC are accepted on public transport. Live Language won’t be able to provide you with a student card, but you can apply for an International Student card here. You will need a passport photo and a confirmation of your student status which you can get from reception.

Live Language is a 1-minute walk away from the closest bus stop and a 5-minute walk away from the closest train station (Glasgow Central) and 10-minutes walk to Queen Street Station. St Enoch subway station is a 1-minute walk from our school.

Glasgow's popular cycle hire scheme is operated by Voi.

Voi offers flexible hire options including subscriptions, discounted pre-paid minutes and pay-as-you-go pricing.

The Voi scheme provides:

A fully electric fleet featuring two e-bike models tailored to trip duration and rider preference.
A hybrid docking basis, allowing users to park within designated on-street zones rather than fixed docking stations.
A minimum of 1,000 e-bikes available 24/7 at over 100 locations across the city

Getting started is simple - download the Voi app from the App Store or Google Play, add your payment details, select and unlock an e-bike, and you're ready to ride.

Full details of Glasgow's cycle hire scheme is available on the Voi website.

Glasgow has an underground or subway which connects the West End, south of the city and the city centre. You can find information about the stops here. The subway is fast, reliable and and easy way to see many of the best parts of Glasgow. The subway is nicknamed 'The Clockwork Orange' and is the third oldest subway system in the world!

Our school is a 5-minute walk from Glasgow Central Station and a 10-minute walk to Queen Street Station. Glasgow Central Station connects Glasgow to the south, and Queen Street Station connects Glasgow to the north and Edinburgh.

If you travel by bus, buying a weekly or monthly ticket is less expensive. You can download the First Bus app and buy your ticket there.

When you open the app, a map will show you the area near you and the buses arriving at the nearest bus stops. And if you are under 22 years old, you can apply for free bus travel in Scotland. If you have children, you can also get free bus travel for them. All the information you need is in the How to Apply section of this link.

I felt like I was home. Teachers and staff were caring and friendly and they treated me well. Teaching was great! Teachers were observing the students performance and gave them feedback on a monthly basis in order to improve the students work. I highly recommend this school

I enjoyed very much the three weeks at Live Language, because they helped me to feel more confident with speaking. I am really satisfied with the teachers and all the staff.

The friendliness of the teachers and the way of their teaching the language to people of different nationalities and without the use of a translator. This allows a total immersion in the language

Maria Antonietta, Italy

Our teacher has been absolutely fantastic. I cannot praise her more highly. She has been patient with us but with the correct balance of challenge to keep us working hard!

Alex, Colombia

It was well structured, and covered a good amount of content each week. I didn’t feel like we spent too long on one area, yet everything was explained clearly.
