My Dd is currently in 2nd year at university on a humanities course. Unfortunately she had a fairly disrupted education in the sense she ended up in 5 different kinds of educational establishment during secondary school years which means she never learnt really had the opportunity to study another language.
I think she find it pretty embarrassing as most people she knows are bilingual or at least can communicate in another language.
She has a pretty heavy workload but would like to start learning a language from scratch but she isn’t sure which one. The obvious candidates would be Spanish, German or French. Any suggestions as to which language may be most useful? Dream job is the foreign office.
A lot of it will be self study but it would be great if she could do some immersive courses. Money’s always an issue though. But I seem to remember that back when I was young some European universities did do fairly cheap courses but I can’t find anything online?
Any ideas or recommendations ?
