In order to truly understand the cultural context of another person’s thinking and doing, knowing their language, even just some of their language, opens doors for establishing interpersonal relationships, and builds bridges that will lead to increased productivity and create a competitive edge for the individual as well as their organization.
The experiential setting of a Concordia Language Villages language and cultural immersion program provides the ideal environment to encounter, discover, and explore another culture. In a supportive setting and surrounded by a community of learners, real work gets done toward building cross-cultural competencies and language skills.
