Foreign Language Study Abroad Programs

Have you tried to learn a language and something about it just doesn’t click with you? Do the words “Rosetta Stone” make you cringe? Are you going to scream if you have to make one more set of vocab flash cards? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, what you probably need is a change of language-learning scenery! Languages are meant to be learned by interacting with people, not by memorizing words out of a textbook, so why not head right to the source and study a foreign language abroad?

Maximo, the Spanish class was great. The staff, teachers and all the facilities are fantastic. I recommend a minimum stay of 2 weeks in order to really get some Spanish basics & a taste of the area. The program and what they offer is great. Gracias ?

A Guide to Studying Foreign Languages Abroad

Why Study Foreign Languages Abroad

No matter where you come from or what you plan on doing with your life, the ability to communicate with others is the most important skill one can possess. Without simple communication, no progress would ever be made. Studying a foreign language abroad takes this concept one step further, as students who choose to go abroad will not only learn the language, but they will also learn the culture and people that surround a specific language. The skills and global perspective gained from this type of experience will turn you into a competitive candidate for better jobs, a more well-rounded student, and a more conscious and responsible global citizen.

Studying a foreign language in a classroom filled with people just like you is one of the most boring and unproductive ways to learn a new language. You can sit in a Spanish class all day long staring at a whiteboard covered in ser versus estar rules, or you can head to a different country and learn these rules simply by talking with locals. Studying a foreign language abroad is the only way to truly learn a language, so if you are going put the time in, why not do it the right (and fun) way?
