Sandra Raupach’s 13-year old son Lukas loved languages. The trouble was that he didn’t like speaking them. He preferred translating from ancient Greek and Latin into his native German. Sandra knew just how much her son was missing by not speaking any foreign languages and especially wanted him to improve his spoken English. So she tried sending him to a camp in Germany to practice.
Learning a language can be one of the most difficult and rewarding things that someone can do, learning a language can unlock a new understanding of a culture and give someone access to a region or area that they would not get without knowledge of the local language. We are passionate about the impact that learning and immersing yourself in a language can have and are proud that the language immersion exchanges and holidays we help facilitate play a role in helping people in their language journey.
English is increasingly becoming the dominant language that the world wants to be able to speak to get ahead in business. If you have travelled abroad or been on holiday as an English speaker you are always likely to find someone that speaks English that should be able to help you should you have any problems. Whilst this is not universal it is very common in the business or tourist districts of the largest world cities.
