Where to Study Foreign Languages in Birmingham: Are you looking to start or continue learning one, two or more languages? Then, you will be happy to know you have a lot of options for doing so in Birmingham. For example, you can pursue higher education at the University of Birmingham, as the department offers programmes in languages like Arabic, Catalan, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Russian. Plus, this is one of the few institutions in the country that offers Mandarin Chinese courses to degree level too. If you decide to enrol, you will not only become proficient in your chosen language but also achieve a high level of cultural competence. And if you do not desire to study at university level, you can still learn a language at the many language schools available in the city. One of them is Language Trainers, where we focus on your convenience and preferences. Our native-speaking instructors tailor every lesson to your needs and will get you speaking the language from the very first class, no matter how challenging it may be!

Where to Practise Foreign Languages in Birmingham: Your learning process does not have to end when you leave your classroom. Quite the contrary, practising the language in real-life contexts will help you to gain fluency and increase your vocabulary, grammar and skills in general. So, if you are looking to gain confidence, why not join the Language Exchange Birmingham Meetup? This is a group that provides you with the opportunity to practise and improve your skills, meet other learners and native speakers of your target language living in Birmingham and learn more about other cultures, values and traditions. Take advantage of this chance to meet and socialise with friendly people who come from all over the world! Another option is the Birmingham Internationals Meetup, a group that tries to bring together people of all ages and backgrounds to get to know each other and the city while having a good time. 

Language Jobs in Edinburgh: In the last decade, Birmingham has been frequently chosen by national and international businesses as the ideal location to establish their companies. Located at the centre of the country, Birmingham is very well connected by air, road and rail for travel and this serves as an incentive for businesses to setup here. Today, the city’s largest sectors are business, professional and financial services, with more than 4,000 companies with their headquarters there. Furthermore, Birmingham’s population is one of the UK’s most diverse, with a lot of people speaking French, German, Polish and Mandarin Chinese as their mother tongue, meaning there is a talent pool with diverse language skills, vital for servicing overseas markets. Start a course with us at Language Trainers and become better equipped to work in changing, diverse, multilingual workplaces. For example, companies like Beardmore Precision Motorcycle, Parker Hale or Velocette are always expanding into new markets and, therefore, need bilingual employees who can take care of their operations abroad. Give your CV the boost it needs to land that international job!

Using Language to Experience Culture in Edinburgh: Work and social opportunities aside, Birmingham is also a great place where you can explore different cultures without ever leaving the UK. Brummies know how to celebrate and they host around 50 annual festivals, meaning there is always something happening to celebrate the region’s diversity and intercultural exchanges. For example, those studying Mandarin can enjoy the Chinese New Year Festival, one of the biggest events in the city, where you can delight in delicious food, traditional dragon parades, live music shows and more. In case you are more interested in learning French, you can always join clubs, like the University of Birmingham’s Francophile Society, that host cultural and social events that range from book clubs to traditional food tasting events. Regardless of the language you are learning, you will always find cultural opportunities in the city. Check out Visit Birmingham’s website to find out more about the events organised all year round.
