Full, part-time, online language courses & home stays abroad...
Brush up on a language course or learning more than just the casual basics enables you to get the most out of travelling.
Learn some basic language phrases and this might encourage you to practice your linguistic skills and maybe take a language course to get more fluent. Travelling in foreign language countries is easier and more enjoyable when you can speak some of the local dialect. Being able to converse with native people, even if it is just basic phrases will improve your experience.
Popular languages to learn include Arabic, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish or Chinese Mandarin.
In London there are a wide range of language schools which help improve English skills such as The English Studio.
On a language project overseas you might get the chance to take part in a home stay program. You could even live with a host family and becoming part of the local community while overseas is a great chance to learn a language or improve your existing linguistic skills.
