Living in a foreign country poses the challenge of facing language barriers. Students enroll in language classes and learn some German or Spanish. However, as faculty in residence, you may or may not know the local language. This will pose a challenge, but our onsite directors will assist you! We recommend enrolling in online classes or knowing basic conversational phrases before arrival. Listed below are some resources to take advantage of for either German if you are in Leipzig or Spanish & Catalan for our Valencia faculty.
