Learning a new language while studying abroad can be transformative. I know this firsthand, having studied in Romania, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and now living in Dubai. Every new language opened doors for me, personally and professionally.
When I studied in Geneva, learning French was essential. Though I had already known some French, immersing myself in the culture made it easier to become fluent. In Spain, the ability to speak Spanish connected me to local communities and allowed me to access resources beyond what was available in English.
At Navon Study International, we encourage students to learn the language of the country they’re studying in. Whether it’s through formal courses or daily interactions with locals, learning a language enhances your experience and gives you the confidence to explore the culture more deeply.
