7.5 billion of us. Something as simple as being able to communicate can break down barriers. To be able to connect to someone in their language is an amazing human experience and fluency in more than one language also opens up many opportunities. Knowing more than one language creates a significant advantage which sets you apart from monolingual peers. To have learnt a second language shows strong cognitive skills, mental flexibiltiy, problem-solving and social interaction skills. Learning a second language also opens additional doors for opportunities to study or work abroad or find employment with businesses with an international clientele.

When travelling abroad, the ability to speak the local language transforms the cultural experience. Those who only speak their own language tend to visit the same places they’ve been to before and rely on others to guide them, whereas those who can speak the local language are more easily able to navigate outside the ‘tourist bubble.’ They’ll be able to interact with the place and its people in ways that  are inaccessible for those without the language.

For all languages below, we are also able to offer other services on request, including support with translation or completion of forms.
