Language Programs in Asia

With one foot in the Indian Ocean, the other in the Pacific, and an arm in the Arctic, Asia has certainly staked its claim on Earth. Encompassing nearly one-third of the Earth’s land mass and nearly two-thirds of the world’s population, Asia is as different from country to country as yin and yang. Nonetheless, there are regional ties, historical complexities, and geographical similarities that help unite Asia under one distinct identity. If you’re looking to broaden your cultural horizons in profound ways, then learning a language abroad in Asia is the medium you’ve been seeking.

A Guide to Language Programs in Asia

Locations

The world’s largest continent houses almost 30 countries that all sing a different tune. To help ease the burden of choice, take a gander at the breakdown of the most popular locations as you try to answer the question: “Which Asian language should I learn?”

China will help you build fluency in perhaps the world’s most important language. Future employers will be pining for you when they see that you’ve got the guts (not only because you survived the street food) to be bold in any career. Big cities like Beijing and Shanghai offer all the luxuries of city life and then some. You can even cross some major items off your bucket list, like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. If the city life isn’t your cup of tea, Xi’an has your back, only allowing the tiniest shred of modernity to shine through the mountains that conceal its ancient roots.

Japan has a transcendent way of effortlessly transforming everything it touches into a work of art worthy of a space in the Mori Art Museum. Allow yourself to be entranced by the beauty of the language, culture, and people when you dive headfirst into the pool of Zen that is Japan. Tokyo and Fukuoka boast a fusion of futuristic sci-fi that is intricately laced with ancient art and temples. These clean and safe cities offer simplistic bounty, while the natural beauty of the country is possibly its best kept secret. Oh, and there’s sushi.

India presents a niche for every personality on the Myers-Briggs spectrum. Cities like New Delhi are large and in charge, while Goa is more laid back and “fun-sized”. Indian’s are also notorious instigators of the best dance parties on the planet, hosting some of the world's most dazzling festivals. Life in India is colorful and it won’t let you leave without imparting revelations of life that will forever blaze in your memory. No matter where you go, learning a language in India will undoubtedly be an interactive experience!

Indonesia will set your language learning on fire! With over 300 native ethnic groups that have their own dialects spread across Indonesia, you'll experience cultural diversity from coast to coast. Indonesians from all walks of life tend to be good-natured and optimistic. Whether you'd rather Eat, Pray, Love your way around Ubud, or get lost in the buzzing city of Jakarta, language programs in Indonesia will send your brain sailing and exciting adventures afloat.
