Talk to Me... in Another Language

When you're able to communicate with people in their language, it increases your ability to make meaning out of experiences and interactions with them and fosters trust and understanding across cultures.

​​IPSL has partnered with highly acclaimed and vetted language schools and instructors to offer exceptional proficiency-based programs. Volunteer Service (if chosen) adds to the immersion experience and, therefore, the language proficiency. The more you use the target language, the better you'll get at it!

IPSL Language Programs Focus on Language Proficiency: Learn (or Improve) a Language

The flexibility of study duration - from as little as one week to as much as one year - fits each student's learning goals, as well as their individual financial circumstances.

Each IPSL partner school abroad has achieved the highest level of recognition in language instruction from the International Association of Language Centers (IALC), whose standards guarantee that students are provided with quality language instruction and exceptional student support.

Some of the programs also offer meaningful volunteer service with a wide range of grassroots organizations. Not only do these organizations welcome your support and assistance, your interactions with them provides another opportunity to practice your newly acquired language skills.
