Laguage Course Abroad
I’ve just come back from a holiday which involved observing an English course Canada and really had a great time! Though English, and so clearly not needing an English course from a language learning perspective, given the fact I want to teach English as a foreign language (ideally being applying to be one of the EFL home tutors, it was really useful for me to be able to watch my cousin (my teaching inspiration!) in action – it gave me a good idea what to expect for when I finally qualify. It’s not just the English language that interests me though…and this is where I need your help…
I am interested in learning either Spanish or German and was wondering which would come in most useful, which would be easier to learn and which would help me in my career most. I will have the chance to take a 3 month language course abroad and so think I should be able to learn a decent level of either (I’m certainly willing to apply myself!). I realize German is probably more useful for industry and business but I suppose one has to consider that more German speak English than Spanish people do. And by learning Spanish, the whole of South America would open up to me too. I could always do a sprachkurs Sevilla – learning Spanish with German people in Spain in class and learning German my interacting with my German class mates out of class but I really do fell tat would be too much!
Please, if there’s any one who has learn and knows the relative difficulties of the languages then your advice would be more than welcome!
