Benefits of knowing another language, you might be surprised!

Why Learn a Language? 

Is it really all that helpful afterall?

Planning for summer travel or study abroad?
Internship?
Volunteerism?

When a Google search produces many options, how do you narrow the results. A few questions to consider:

1.       Is the program accredited or endorsed by ACTFL , any Universities or United States       

        organizations?

2.       Have you checked the state department for important travel information including any   

        safety or health advisories as well as necessary travel documents?  http://travel.state.gov/ 

       3.      Are there testimonials or reviews of the program on the website or on the internet?

       4.    What is the student to adult/teacher/sponsor ratio?

       5.       If budget is a consideration in your decision:  Have you asked about additional costs?    

               (airport pick-up/textbooks/food-board/travel taxes/insurance/appropriate

               clothes/luggage/costs/etc.).
