Do I Need to Know a Language to Study Abroad?
3

• Speaking Spanish Are You Fluent?
  
• The first time I was looking into study abroad, I
  had no idea where I wanted to go. I heard
  fabulous things about Spain, but even though I
  studied Spanish in middle and high school, I
  hadnt taken a class in years.
• People told me that I would remember my Spanish
  when I got to Seville, but I was still nervous.
• Luckily, my time in Spain ended up being some of
  the best of my life the Spanish classes with CEA
  were incredible and pushed me beyond what I
  thought possible.
• Living in the Casa de Seville helped, too, as I
  was able to practice my Spanish but still rely on
  my American roommates for help.

• Another unique aspect of Seville was La Giralda
  Center.
• For one of my classes, we volunteered at this
  language-learning center, speaking English to
  local students while they helped us with our
  Spanish.
• After struggling to speak Spanish, sometimes it
  was a relief to be on the other end and help
  someone else learn English! Its safe to say that
  studying abroad in Seville helped me fall in love
  with the Spanish language and inspired me to
  study abroad again...

• My French Intensive Experience
• Most recently, I went to France with my
  university on a 6-week study abroad program
  focused on French cuisine and food
  sustainability, with an optional 4-week
  internship.
• No French language knowledge was required for any
  part of the program, which seemed too good to be
  trueand it was.
• Even though there was a week long French
  intensive, this wasnt as helpful as Id hoped.
  I still struggled with the most basic phrases
  such as, Do you speak English? and Where is
  the bathroom?

• Luckily, my internship changed.
• I stayed with a host family in the south of
  France and they helped turn my experience around.
  
• Even though I didnt really know French, my host
  family and community welcomed me with open arms
  and made an effort to include me in all their
  activities.
• It was with my host family that I made progress
  in understanding French and truly felt like I
  belonged.
• I still wasnt great at speaking the language,
  but being pushed to try to speak and understand
  conversations in French made a huge difference
  when it was a family, rather than random
  strangers in a café.

• The Bottom Line?
• Not knowing a language should NOT hold you back
  from Study loan abroad. Just be ready to
  experience a few ups and downs and to put in
  effort if you want to make friends with locals.
  Studying abroad is an enlightening experience
  that will change your life and help you grow in
  ways you cant even imagine including language
  learning.
