Comparing Study Abroad Language Schools

Selecting a language school in a foreign country can seem like a monumental task, but it doesn’t have to be. With an organized approach and a clear priority list, you can make the best decision that will ensure learning success. To begin, write down your budget and goal. Consider your current proficiency in your target language and how long you want to study. How much time can you take off from your job or school? What time of year would you like to travel? Will you be travelling with a companion or family? These are all points to deliberate upon when formulating your budget and goal. 

Next, pick a location in which you would like to study. Happy and comfortable students learn better! Think about what you would like your surroundings to be like. Beaches or rainforest? Big city or small village? Surrounded by locals or with the ‘safety net’ of other Americans around? Is there a famous museum or ruins you’ve always dreamed of visiting?
