| | Are you seeking a unique language and culture study experience that can only be found with peers of similar ages with similar interests? NRCSA’s Mature Adult programs allow you to improve language skills in a small group setting with individuals of similar backgrounds and objectives from around the world. Cultural experiences ranging from unique and intellectually stimulating excursions to specialty cooking lessons are available to add enrichment to your experience.
The April – May 2005 edition of “What’s New” highlights three NRCSA mature adult programs that have consistently been rated as the best by mature adults over the last 18 months. Each program is two weeks in length… a perfect amount of time to improve language skills and experience new cultures without needing a “vacation from a vacation” when you return home!

| | Thankfully, classes for the semester are coming to an end, and final exams, reports, and other assessments are almost finished! In the rush to complete all of your schoolwork, have you given any consideration as to your plans this summer?
At NRCSA, we have designed several language study programs specifically for university age students. Our opportunities are located in such dynamic cities as Paris, Madrid, Cannes, Berlin, Florence, Montreal, and St. Petersburg.
Beyond learning language, these programs allow you to meet students from other locations around the world who have similar interests to you. You will have ample opportunities to travel to various fascinating locations over weekends and during breaks, ensuring that the experience is not “all work!”

| | Do you want to use this summer to do more than experience a foreign culture? Do you want to acquire intangible experience to add to your resume? Perhaps a foreign language study and volunteer program will meet these needs. From providing assistance in an Ecuadorian orphanage to teaching English to students in Bolivia, the opportunity to combine community service with foreign language study is available for you in a variety of locations. Programs as short as two weeks and as long as 12 weeks are available in Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, and Peru.
If you are already thinking ahead to finding work opportunities after graduation, perhaps a study and internship/work experience opportunity would be best. From hospitality management to translation to experience in other professional fields, internships are available in several NRCSA program locations when combined with language study. Programs can be chosen from Austria, Germany, Spain, and France.

| | Reality: Professionals in the medical field are finding the ability to speak Spanish is more and more important - especially in certain geographic areas with denser hispanic populations. The ability to communicate with patients and other staff is crucial to getting the job done - but high school Spanish 101 isn't going to get you very far.
Reality II: The flip side is that medical professionals these days don't have the time to take off and become fluent in another language, which can take months of study in a foreign country, and many years if at all if studying at home.
Solution: Medical Spanish immersion programs abroad, tailored to help you quickly learn crucial Spanish communication skills and a cultural understanding in the context of working with patients and colleagues. With medical Spanish programs offered in an immersion setting abroad - you can combine an exciting cultural vacation - and significant medical Spanish improvement - in just 1-4 weeks.
