What are some of the benefits of committing to one-year of language study abroad?
A year studying language overseas will accelerate your language acquisition, improve your academic skills and opportunities, and transform your life. Language students who immerse themselves for a year in a language and culture rapidly advance toward acquiring fluency and becoming bilingual. Sustained contact with native speakers and uninterrupted practice – using language to accomplish daily routines, participate in conversations, and make formal arguments – over an extended period of time are the proven methods for acquiring a second “first-language.” If you aspire to make your second language second nature, the year-long language program provides the extended and sustained linguistic and cultural immersion you need.
