Where to Practise Foreign Languages in Oxford: If you would like to become fluent in a foreign language in a short time, there is no better way than by learning with an experienced language instructor from Language Trainers. However, your learning process will not end when the class is over. To improve your ability and confidence, you will need to practise in real-life scenarios, such as in one of the many meet-up groups, like Oxford Culture and Language Exchange. This group gathers together people of all backgrounds to speak and learn different languages together. So, if you are looking to expand your understanding of other cultures and talk about travel and events happening around the world, this is the place for you. You will get to practise any language in a laid-back environment with both native speakers and fellow language learners, so don’t be shy and make sure you attend their weekly gatherings! You can also join their Facebook page for more updates and opportunities to interact with members.  Another option is the Celebration of Cultures from Around the World Meetup, a language exchange group where members use their skills to discuss a whole range of subjects, like art, clothing, community banking, music, movies, traditions and food from different nations and cultures. They only have 25 free admission tickets each time, so let them know you are coming well in advance.

Language Jobs in Oxford: Oxford's economy is flourishing, with plenty of local companies expanding overseas; so, learning a foreign language can help you advance in your career. For example, Oxford has always been an important centre of car manufacturing since Morris Motors was established in the city more than 100 years ago. Furthermore, businesses in the field of digital innovation, like Research Machines and Sophos, are thriving and primarily sell their developments to Asian countries, like China and Japan, making Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese all profitable languages to know. Start learning a foreign language and boost your employability, especially if you compete against other monolingual candidates.
