Die Grenzen meiner Sprache sind die Grenzen meiner Welt - Ludwig Wittgenstein

The language of language
Even if you are an accomplished language student, you may be in for a surprise. Most of the foreign language instruction you have received up until this point was probably in English. All too often, grammar concepts are explained in English. For example, if you studied French and learned about the past tense, present tense, and future tense, you probably learned these concepts in English. In the German language, the past tense is referred to as the “Präteritum” or the “Vergangenheit”. If you don’t know the native equivalents of the various linguistic terms, it would be very wise to review them before you go!

Read, Listen, Speak…GO!
Learning a language opens so many doors. Such as doors to exotic travel. Doors to new friendships and new job opportunities. And doors to personal growth. I believe wholeheartedly that the best way to learn a language is to live the language. And what better way to live a language than to travel abroad and immerse yourself in a new culture!

Best wishes in all your adventures,

Paul
