Why language trips are so effective!
At the latest when you apply for a course of study for which a TOEFL test is a selection criterion, or you want to apply for a job for which you have to speak a certain language, it becomes clear how important it is to be multilingual.
It's not that easy to learn a new language and sometimes it's not even particularly tempting if you think about the course room filled with neon lights. Nevertheless, it is becoming increasingly important to be multilingual because globalization is advancing and it is no longer enough to be able to say in broken English that you have no idea what the other person wants.
We live and work more and more internationally and of course that also means that we have to worry more and more about being able to exchange ideas with people of other origins.
You can already notice on campus that many unknown languages are mixed in with German. It's the same at work when a customer suddenly calls you from the USA, France or Poland or you have to deal with software developers from India. Future employers will also find it convincing if you speak several languages.
The real-life language test
However, this is often not enough with a few hours of language lessons per week. If you don't use a language, you will inevitably forget it and your vocabulary will develop rather slowly.
To be able to properly internalize a language, you need more than tape recordings and a fancy book that informs you about the grammatical sins of other countries. (Not that German is free of these...) The correct pronunciation and a good feeling for when which wording is appropriate are not something you learn easily. That's why it's very important to find opportunities to speak the new language and always learn new things. Of course, this works best if you live directly in the country of origin of the language - even if only for a certain time.
Anyone who can't leave university and a student job behind for more than a week or two should take a language trip. This is concentrated learning and pleasant traveling combined – the perfect mix.
Sprachcaffe – your language travel expert
Whether Arabic, Chinese, French, Italian, Spanish or of course English, at Sprachcaffe you can choose from 7 languages and deepen and actively use them at 27 different course locations. In this way, you not only improve your language skills, but also get to know the country and its people directly.
Learning in everyday life is not only easier than studying at university. A language trip has many other advantages: you get to know nice international students and foreign cultures, you also travel to a new country, explore its sights, take new culinary paths and experience the lifestyle in the streets of Vancouver, London and Nice or Rabat, in Morocco. And who can say “no” to a trip!??
Your advantages at Sprachcaffe
If you are now thinking that language trips are only offered for advanced students and that the whole thing is certainly very expensive, we can reassure you.
You can join Sprachcaffe at any language level and either get to know the language directly on site or improve and deepen it. When you arrive at the course location, you first take a language test, which will be used to assign you to the correct course.
The courses always take place in the language school during the day and on some afternoons and evenings, leisure activities and excursions with your course. You can spend the rest of your time freely and explore the surroundings. Depending on whether you are a pupil, trainee or student or already working, different courses are offered. By the way, there are also tours where the holiday feeling is a little more in the foreground.
The price for the language trips depends on how intensively you want to learn the language and how comfortable you want to live. However, the best thing about a trip with Sprachcaffe is clearly the intensity of language learning, the exciting experience in a new city and with nice people, as well as the fact that all organizational tasks, such as booking accommodation and flights, are taken care of by Sprachcaffe for you.
You can find all information about Sprachcaffe's language trips and courses on the homepage or in the Sprachcaffe catalog, which you can order or download free of charge.
