Our team is currently focused on sending Transition Year students abroad to Spain, France and Germany where they are immersed in a native school.
Welcome to EuroVoyage Exchange
They will be living with a host family where they can practice the language in a natural setting where they can enhance their conversational skills
This experience abroad helps students prepare for the Leaving Certificate. It especially helps in the oral and aural components of the exam which are worth 45%.
Develop a New Language
Learning a new language strengthens your brain's memory function. It trains you to recall and store new vocabulary, grammar rules, and pronunciation, improving both short-term and long-term memory.
It also requires critical thinking and creativity to grasp new concepts and meanings. This process improves overall cognitive flexibility, enabling more efficient problem-solving in other areas of life.
People who have learnt a second language often have a greater ability to focus on tasks and switch between them efficiently. This is due to the brain constantly managing two or more languages, helping with multitasking and sustained concentration.
Deepen Cultural Understanding
.
Learning a language offers a deeper understanding of the customs, traditions, and social norms of another culture.
It provides perspective on the values and ways of thinking that shape how people from different cultures approach life.
By immersing yourself in a new language, you foster empathy and appreciation for cultural diversity, helping to build connections and reduce misunderstandings.
Personal Growth and Independence
Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.
Managing life in a new country builds self-reliance, independence, and maturity.
Overcoming challenges abroad increases confidence and self-assurance.
