Why take a gap year abroad?

A gap year abroad is one of the most effective ways to learn a new language. By being fully immersed in your language courses and relying on them in your day-to-day life, you’ll have the opportunity to improve your language skills at an exponential rate. No matter where you decide to study, a gap year abroad will teach you to appreciate local cultures as well as the international cultures that you will be exposed to throughout the year. During your gap year abroad, you will experience countless new things, from taking on new challenges each day, to learning more about yourself and the world.
