Language Training
 
All interns are required to take some form of language training unless they are already conversant in the language of their host country. In Asia and Africa, our placements are all in English-friendly environments, so the training is only for a few hours each day for the first week. However, for all of our Latin American countries interns are required to be conversant. If you are a basic Spanish speaker expect a minimum of three months of training before you can begin to work at your internship.

We found that general Spanish courses are not adequate to train interns appropriately and so we have designed our own Spanish courses. These courses focus on the specific vocabulary that interns need to be comfortable and capable in their role within their placement.

Our special course books focus on the language tools you will need to be successful in your placement. You will learn the proper vocabulary with practical phrases and street language to help you in real-life situations that you will encounter while on placement. These materials will ensure that you are ready to begin your placement and be conversant in the language you are going to be communicating in!
