 Volunteer vacation/ work abroad

Another way of learning a language and also offering other benefits is doing volunteer vacation in Spain, France, Germany or other countries. You have the possibility to go to highschool abroad, do an independent homestay, attend language schools or visit international youth camps. If you have already finished highschool it may be interesting to do volunteer work in New Zealand, Costa Rica, Ecuador, the USA or Thailand.

By the way, in both cases you shouldn’t miss this experience. You will improve your language skills, meet many people from all over the world and learn a lot. It will enrich you personally, you will use the language in a daily context and you can gain experience abroad which is considered very important in today’s business life.

About

He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own. These words were penned by the great German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his work Kunst and Alterthum. Indeed, if we were to take a look into how much stock people put into learning a foreign language, it would seem that von Goethe had a special insight into the world of languages.

How important is learning a foreign language? For many people, it is as important as their career. This is especially so for those whose mother tongue is not the English language. Like it or not, English seems to be the "unofficial official" language in the world today. As such, many people, from universities to the corporate world place much importance in learning English as a foreign language.
