Language Programs

A great way to quickly learn a language (and all the quirks of the local dialect, which textbooks and apps often don’t cover) is to learn that language abroad! Foreign language courses at international language schools will be a lot more effective than that language learning app you never open anymore. Why? Because you can put all of those verb conjugation charts into use after class to see how those idiomatic expressions hold up with locals. In order to learn a language, you need practice. A lot of practice. Language programs abroad have you covered!

Frequently Asked Questions

To learn a language abroad, you'll first need to choose which language you want to learn and where you want to learn it. After, you'll apply to language programs in that destination, pay program fees, book a flight, and be on your way!

Think about your goals for language acquisition. Are you trying to be a more competitive job applicant? Or do you just want to be a more intentional traveler? The languages you should learn will change depending on what you want to achieve.

You can learn a foreign language pretty much anywhere! Some of the best language programs in the world are in Spain (for Spanish), Morocco (for Arabic), France (for French), and China (for Mandarin).

Living in a country where your target language is spoken is one of the best ways to learn a language. Stay with a host family to ensure that you're consistently immersed in the local language to give yourself plenty of opportunity to build skills.

Some of the most useful languages to learn are Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic, due to the amount of native speakers across the world. Being fluent in one or more of these languages will advance your career and improve the quality of your travels!

Great targeted teaching :)

Having a great experience with Thats Mandarin so far! The teachers are all very attentive and capable, and especially in the one on one classes you can focus on exactly what you would like to, for example if you want to practice more conversational speaking, you can, or reading, you can also. The group classes are good for building foundational knowledge and learning from your fellow students. Overall I would recommend for people looking for a flexible start and end date for their Chinese lessons, compared to the uni courses which have specific timings for their semester starts / intakes.
