Discover a Country and a Language

Language immersion to discover new cultures

Going abroad is always a way to discover countries and meet new people. But can you imagine if you were able to speak and understand local people while exploring the immensity of the world? These discoveries and meetings would be even more intense, and your cultural and language immersion would be complete! So, what do you say? Feeling tempted by a language stay abroad?

Why?

Being able to overcome language barrier adds a unique dimension to any experience abroad. Wandering across a country using the local language enables you to understand all the subtleties that would have remained unknown to you otherwise. It gives you the tools for a successful cultural immersion!

Every word, every phrase is a key for understanding the history and the cultural identity of a country. The friendly moments you will share with locals, the new lifestyles you will discover, and the traditions you will understand will now appear to you in a new light. Discovering a country goes beyond sightseeing and excursions. Language is an integral part of the travel experience. It transcends cultural immersion and the discovery of other mentalities. Learning a language helps you break many existing cultural stereotypes.

Living in a foreign country is the best way to learn a language and/or to hone it. Classes, original version films, and literature cannot replace the experience you get by immersing yourself fully among locals. This immersion is essential to enrich your knowledge and master a new language. Many people became bilingual thanks to their peregrinations. Living daily life situations abroad forces you to adapt to the language of the country you are in. Communication opens doors.

Travelling abroad: halfway between learning and immersion

Language stays are an ideal alternative way to learn a new language. These stays often give you the opportunity to be accommodated by locals. They make you meet people from different nationalities who share a common goal: improving their language skills and experiencing interculturality. Some of these language stays also offer touristic or “traditional” activities that can make you discover the unique practices or customs of the country that welcomes you.

Setting out for a language stay abroad with the SVI is THE best opportunity to apply the languages you’ve learnt and honed before. It’s the perfect option to make sure you get a deeper knowledge of the country you want to visit, a real exchange with locals, and a complete cultural immersion.
