Learning new languages can bring many benefits: it can reduce anxiety and increase tolerance and creativity.
Learning new languages provides an opportunity to cultivate patience and perseverance. It also opens our minds and encourages new visions, attitudes and styles of thinking regarding the world around us. Immersion in a different culture makes us feel more comfortable with the world in general. Communication will be easier, as will understanding. The more languages we learn, the easier it will be to learn other languages. It is common knowledge that bilingual brains are less distracted. Although the spoken language is prioritised in the CERAN method, the language trainer is always mindful of the importance of written information, which also has its place in the form of communication addressing the Participant's needs. Consequently, the spoken and written language are constantly present, but emphasis is more on one or the other form of language depending on the needs expressed by the Learner and the proposed activities.
Testimony
“A fantastic language study trip in a centre where progress and well-being in the learning process are the chief concern. Total immersion is hard to take on the first day, but proves to be very effective and enjoyable. You don’t want to leave! The meals are excellent – you’d come back just for dinner. A great atmosphere and really nice activities. CERAN knows how to take care of us – healthy breaks in the morning and cupcakes in the afternoon! I couldn’t string a sentence together in German when I arrived, but I’ve made impressive progress in just 5 days. I’ve decided to come back for a second session.”
