Tip #13 - book a language trip abroad



If you can't bring Rome to you, then...
you'll have to go to Rome yourself. One of the best and most fun ways to learn a language is to go to the country itself. Then you are surrounded by the culture, the atmosphere, the people and of course you have to order coffee in their language. You are forced to speak their lingo.

How to do it
Either you can go on a language course via a language travel agency or search for language schools and book directly, or just take a holiday. Language travel agencies help you with the whole package including insurance, somewhere to stay and also have quality-checked the schools before you get there. Good examples of language travel agencies in Sweden are www.stockholmlanguage.com and www.alta-abroad.se. There are other agencies in other countries you can find.

If you decide to go the schools route then you will have to do the research yourself and book flights etc. This does not have to be too difficult and can offer you a taste of the language already before you go. Some schools are available on Ephisto.

Language-wise
If you decide to just go there without a language course then a must is a decent phrase book and you can also try using Ephisto to see if there is anyone there who you can practise the language with before you go.

Once in the country all you have to do is jump in and try talking to people. You'll be surprised by how much they like talking to you!
