LANGUAGES ADVANTAGE
Lessons learned through a language class can truly last a lifetime as the acquired skills can be used for such things as employment and travel. The opportunity to learn about another culture is invaluable. There is an urgent requirement for qualified speakers of languages other than English in areas of science, technology, medicine, and global commerce. It is also proven that students studying a second language are generally superior in divergent thinking tasks and memory ability.
HIGHLIGHTS • Speaking more than one language increases your brain flexibility • More employment opportunities for speakers of different languages • You can understand and talk to more people while travelling • Learn about other cultures • Learn from qualified teachers who are knowledgeable and passionate about their language • Become more open minded by learning a different perspective of the world
