*** Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Allow me to explain. Have you or has anyone you know ever taken a language at ab initio level then pursued higher education in a country where that language is the national language/prominent? If so, how was/is your time there and how did/do you feel with your life and progress in the language? Anything else to add? Did/does it match your expectations? I realise that an increasing number of institutions offer instruction in English and the national language of the country--I'm not expecting the progression from ab initio to being comfortable in a challenging academic environment to come to many, although if achieved that's certainly a success story, also. I use the term 'success story' because I've really enjoyed learning Spanish; having the opportunity to study in a Spanish speaking country, particularly Spain, is really appealing to me, and going from an ab initio level to living there and being immersed in the language is quite the success story, in my eyes. Language B students feel free to share also, I specified ab initio because that's the level I'm studying. Any other language learning stories you'd like to add would be lovely, too. Thank you for reading! Edited August 19, 2015 by *** Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
