Hands up who loves to travel but maybe struggles on the communication front? Although English is nowadays very popular, it is by no means safe to assume that everyone will speak it abroad. Unless you’re sticking to the hot-tourist spots, it is very usual to find that not everyone will be able to communicate in your language. For those who do not want to solely rely on their extravagant hand gestures, then give it a try and speak the local language. In that way, you can get chatting with the locals who will very much appreciate your efforts and you will also be able to explore all the hidden corners of a certain place and really get a feel for the culture.

For those who really want to learn a new language or improve their existing one then why not try it in combination with travelling? Not only will you get a better feel for the culture wherever you are but you can also practice your new language skills every single day with many different people while you stay at a language school abroad. So, if you have ever wanted to climb the Eiffel tower, go sailing in Malta or learn to cook famous Spanish dishes then check out the company Sprachdirekt -who have just launched their English site. Specializing not only in language trips and language courses abroad, they also offer a wide choice of activities alongside so not only can you learn about the culture first-hand but also practice your language skills!

“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.” – Anthony Bourdain
