Are you toying with the idea of learning a new language? Besides the world languages like English, Spanish, Chinese, French or even Hindi, Arabic, Russian and Portuguese, there are countless other languages you can learn in your free time, e.g. Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Urdu or Javanese.

Now this sounds exhausting at first - and yes, it is. Learning foreign languages is certainly not an easy process, but in the long run you will realize that it is worth it.

We've put together a few reasons to show you how effective learning new languages can be for you and why it's really worth it.

If there’s one positive thing that’s come out of the global pandemic, it’s that it’s taught many of us to be more adaptable. This is particularly the case when it comes to how we learn or work; lockdowns have shown us that the move to virtual lessons and workplaces is not only possible, in some cases, it’s opened doors.

The exceptional situation of Covid19 has severely set back many language learners who regularly attend language schools. Language schools that teach all languages at all levels were and for the most part still are closed or have limited access. Many of these schools have made the switch to online instruction. Other language schools offer their students learning online only, specializing in teaching via voice or video chat.

Language learning platforms come in all shapes and sizes and offer a variety of different options, however, knowing what to look for in a language platform will help you make the best decision.

Team building skills are extremely important both inside and outside of the classroom. They are also of key value later in life when you find yourself in a work environment.

Born and raised in a wonderful town of South Italy, I developed a strong interest in the foreign languages - particularly in English and French - when I was just seven years old. During my school and academic career, I came across charismatic and outstanding native and non-native teachers who kept me enthusiastic about languages. I was blessed to get confronted with the approach held by native as well as by non-native teachers.

Globalisation means companies can operate in any country there is a market for them. This leads to opportunities for their people to live and work in a new place, learn a new language and adapt to a new culture.

It's exciting, but what goes on behind the scenes to make it happen? If you work for a company which is looking at expanding internationally, how do to you create a relocation policy?

Do you have fear or anxiety when you have to speak in English? Do you welcome your new neighbor and say hello or hide instead? If someone says hello to you, do you tend to respond hesitantly? Are you secretly hoping they won’t continue the conversation because of your fear? If so, you are not the only one. Yes, it’s natural to have fear or anxiety when we speak a language that is not native to us.

Learning a new language has evolved throughout history based on the interests, needs, and current education methods. Nowadays, anyone who wishes to speak and write in another language can learn online. With constant changes in technology and teaching second languages, various trends have come up, affecting e-learning language classes.

E-learning, also known as distance learning, has risen in popularity in recent years. It also became the current designated method of learning due to the pandemic. However, there have been many concerns about its effectiveness compared to the traditional face-to-face learning method.

It’s not a perfect approach to learning a foreign language, but there are ways to enhance it. Following trends is a good starting point to do it. With that in mind, here are the current trends in language e-learning that can improve the student learning experience.

I’ve joined the French online group classes with Eszett to advance my French. Being Russian and living in Belgium. I don’t use French daily as my private and professional life is in English, still it’s much easier to communicate with locals in their language.

Born and raised in Southeast Asia (Philippines), I am accustomed to hearing different dialects and languages from my family and fellow Filipinos. English and Tagalog are the official languages of the country, with English being used in school and social or business circles and Filipino/Tagalog or other vernaculars the home languages. There are hundreds of spoken languages in the Philippines and thousands of words are derived from Spanish.

I started on my French Course at Eszett at the very beginner level (A1.1). I wanted to learn French as I recently moved from Denmark, to at French speaking country, to live with my boyfriend.

Today, I would like to introduce the easy parts of Japanese and the best parts of leaning Japanese Language. In fact, compared to other languages, Japanese is not that difficult to learn.

Japanese grammar is simple compared to Western languages. Here is how:
