“You don’t have to be able to speak at all, just come and try!” those words from my friend who was an international student from Belgium and a staff at Global Village encouraged me to take my first step to learning multiple languages. I continued to go to the French sessions throughout my freshmen and sophomore years then to the Germen sessions in my junior and senior years. The staff kindly taught me according my level so each session was very valuable and meaningful in expanding my language abilities. Furthermore, I was able to deepen my knowledge and understanding of each country’s politics, economy, and culture.
