Buenos dias! Bonjour! Ni Hao! Here are some popular destinations for language immersion gap year programs to help you decide where to go.

You'll have your pick of locations if you're interested in learning Spanish, the world's second-most spoken language, but Costa Rica is one exotic place you will not want to miss. Swim in the bright blue Celeste River, lounge on a tropical beach, or hike through the Monteverde Cloud Forest and improve your Spanish conversation skills at the same time!

When you think of France, the Eiffel Tower probably comes to mind, but there is so much more to France than just Paris. Spend some time in the countryside in Provence or explore chateaux in the Loire valley, and gain a new appreciation for the simple joys of fine wine, good food, and world-class art and architecture.

Chinese is the number one most spoken language in the world, so this language would definitely be a useful skill to pick up! Traveling to China and immersing yourself in the language, culture, and customs will not only improve your Chinese skills, but will also give you invaluable insight into one of the world’s most ancient civilizations.
