Learning a new language can often be challenging and sometimes it becomes hard to motivate oneself to continue learning. While for those who choose language courses losing motivation is not usually a big problem, people who learn a language individually might struggle over time. And when one has to force themselves to continue, studying abroad can help.
When you go abroad, emotions and experiences overflow. You meet new people, get lost and wander around the city, everything is new for you. So let us name some of the main benefits of learning a foreign language abroad!
You get to use your language skills in real life
It happens so, that not every person you meet abroad will speak English or some other language. Therefore, you will eventually get to practice your skills in your day-to-day life. Going for groceries, getting a transport ticket, asking for directions when you get lost. All these are opportunities and sometimes necessary reasons for you to get over your language barrier.
The friends you make
One way or another you are going to make friends from different countries. If you choose to study at a school like Educa, you will at least have your groupmates. Moreover, we have many Russian students, who are studying at our partner school just across the hall.
New shade of culture glasses
There is an idea of colorful glasses. Have you ever heard about it? It says that we are born with glasses of one color, which represents the culture and environment where we grew up in. When we take some time and stay abroad, we get to put on the “glasses” of another culture on top of ours. We broaden our worldview and gain more tolerance and empathy towards people of another culture.
Take your chance! Come and study Russian in the very heart of Saint Petersburg!
