Participating in a taught language course is a fantastic way to learn a new language or enhance your existing language skills. Language courses can be offered in the UK or overseas. The benefits of taking a class overseas are that you have better opportunities to put your language skills into practice in a real-life situation after class.
Language courses can range in duration from one week (i.e. an intensive course) to a month or longer. The more time you spend on learning a language the better your skills will be. Graduate employers are impressed by students who have fluency in more than one language, so it will look great on your CV.
