"LANGUAGE VACATIONS" Page 1, 2, 3

language study abroad - language schools

ABOVE: In Lisbon, you may commute to your language school by tram..

Q. Will I receive academic credit for my studies?

Normally you'll receive a certificate from the school that shows what and when you studied. However, if you want  credit toward a degree, you'll need to make arrangements ahead of time with the Study Abroad office of your college or university.

Q. I'm retired. Will I feel out of place among younger language students?

That depends entirely on you. I'm over 50, and I had no problem feeling comfortable with a class of mostly European students in their 20s at the LSA language school in Siena. (I was even invited on a dance-club crawl.)

Still, if you'd rather learn a language with older adults, you may prefer a school that offers special classes for "mature students" during busy times of the year. Language Studies Abroad or a similar language agency can match you to a school that has classes for older learners.
