A Guide to Summer Language Immersion Programs for High School
Popular Types of Language Immersion Programs
Choosing a language to study is as tricky as choosing which flavor of gelato to try first when you land in Rome! It’s important to consider the scope of opportunity for you to utilize the skill once you’ve mastered it, and of course, your reason for learning in the first place. There’s no justification for learning French if you want to explore South America or Italian if you want to study in China.
Spanish is a popular choice, and being spoken by 41 million people around the world, it’s a handy skill to have for making friends, working overseas, and traversing large portions of the globe. Just imagine the possibilities trekking the Andes in Chile, scuba diving in Belize, or exploring the castles in Spain!
French is the second most studied language in the world, so you’ll be joining many fellow earthlings by learning this language. In some of the French summer immersion programs for high school students, you could even take culinary classes to learn from professional chefs!
Italian is also another great romantic-based choice and equally useful when it comes to linguistic-focused degrees and globetrotting adventures, not to mention the delicious cuisines available! Authentic Italian pizza or pasta, anyone? Plus, who why not learn the language of famous fashion designers, artists, and musicians?!
If you fancy a slightly more off-the-beaten-track type of linguistic pursuit, the more unique choices include Chinese, Japanese, Greek, and German. You shouldn’t select a language based solely on the country you wish to visit — but there’s a lot of potential for your bucket list there — and no one would judge if that influenced your choice!
Top Locations for Immersion Programs
It’s not just about what you study, it’s also (largely) about where you get to study it! Immersing yourself in the language makes it much easier to fine-tune your skills as the opportunities to practice are all around you during summer language immersion programs for high school students. Consider cultural preferences, climates, and of course, what’s on the menu as you make your decision.
For Spanish language students, Spain is the obvious choice, although Mexico and Costa Rica are also home to some high quality language schools. The geographical proximity of Latin America to the United States makes it an attractive choice. Not to mention the amazing beaches of Mexico’s Caribbean coast, opportunities to zip-line through the jungle in Costa Rica, and endless supplies of tacos and guac on hand.
When it comes to French, the obvious and smart choice would be France. And the chance to see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, or the Palace of Versailles? Oui oui! You’ll also want to consider the intrigue of romantic Paris versus the more traditional smaller towns and coastal areas. Plus, if you study in France, you’ll have access to nearby countries like Switzerland or Belgium to practice it as well!
With all the different architectural beauties from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Sistine Chapel to the Pantheon, it’s hard for anyone to look past Italy! Many of the programs offer plenty of 3D experiences for you to experience the language among the Italians in market places all under the Tuscan sun.
For the adventure seekers and unusual language skill chasers, there are more appropriate locations, such as China, Greece, Japan, and Germany. Between the Giant Pandas and terracotta warriors of China, Mount Fuji and the buzz of Tokyo, you aren’t short of epic opportunities to gain wanderlusting passport stamps.
Accommodation Options
Most programs include accommodation, taking away the logistical struggles and letting you focus on mastering the language rather than fulfilling your basic needs. The style of housing ranges from homestays to hostel-type dorms and shared apartments for summer language immersion programs for high school students. Homestays offer complete cultural immersion and endless opportunities to practice your linguistic skills, the chance to have a personal tour guide, and a “home away from home” environment, and bonus — home-cooked meals! Depending on your location pick, you might need to ready yourself to adapt to a local way of living, but that’s all part of the adventure!
Visas
Depending on the nationality of your passport and the country in which you wish to study, you may require a visa. The type will depend on the destination and the length of your program as well. Be sure to check in with your nearest embassy in plenty of time to be sure to obtain the permit you need. Your host school could also be a helpful resource in advising you on the correct type of visa for the program and provide any supporting documentation required to get your permit ready before you jet off.
GoAbroad Insider Tips
Learning a language abroad will help you to stand out from the crowd when it comes to university and job applications. The adaptability and applicability of the skills to innumerable scenarios should not be underestimated! Learning in a country which speaks that language accelerates your progress and allows you to practice and put your skills to use immediately. The biggest challenge is mastering the language, but you’ll have the support of your hosts and fellow students to help you.
Summer language immersion programs for high school students offer the perfect way to boost your skills while having an awesome adventure!
