Because we have always made it a priority to give sports a prominent place, as evidenced by our tennis language study trips or soccer language immersion programs, our organization invites you to take a closer look at a league that is sacred in the land of Uncle Sam: the National Basketball Association, better known as the NBA. Before your language study trip to the USA, it’s a good idea to learn a little more about this championship that is so emblematic of the United States!
The merger of two prestigious leagues
The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946. Three years later, it merged with the National Basketball League to form the league we know today. Currently, the league consists of 30 franchises, divided into two conferences, each of which is further divided into three divisions. Are you still with me?…
A language study trip to the U.S. to explore the conferences and various divisions
For example, in the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz are in the Northwest Division, the Los Angeles Lakers are in the Pacific Division, and the San Antonio Spurs are in the Southwest Division. On the other side of the bracket, in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics are in the Atlantic Division, the Chicago Bulls are in the Central Division, and the Miami Heat are in the Southeast Division.
The greatest basketball players are waiting for you!
If these names make you dream, then a language study trip to the U.S. is perfect for you! Over the years, the NBA has attracted the most prestigious stars, including the talented Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, as well as French players Tony Parker and Joakim Noah. A spectacular experience guaranteed!
