  • Bonjour! Hola! Hallo!

    I am currently studying at Bangor University, doing a joint honours degree in French and German with Spanish. Surprisingly the ability to study three languages at degree level is in fact extremely rare, in spite of a growing increase in companies and jobs which list the ability to speak at least one language as one of their requirements.

  • Learning Spanish idioms

    Friday, 30 March 2012
    Charlotte is studying French and Hispanic studies at uni and is spending the second six months of her year abroad as an Erasmus student at the Universidad de Córdoba in Spain. She bought a Spanish idioms book for a different way to boost her language skills, as learning typical idiomatic expressions is a very useful way to help you understand the language better, to help you feel more like a local (and never get caught out!) and, of course, to help you ace language oral exams!

  • As a year abroad student, you need language reference tools that are reliable enough to get you through living, studying and working abroad, and portable enough for travel (without affecting your weight restrictions at the airport!). To make sure you have (and can afford!) what you need, we have wangled an exclusive promotional code with Collins and their software partner Ultralingua just for TYA members!

  • Volunteering in Buenos Aires

    Monday, 14 February 2011
    Rosie Gold is a third year French and Spanish student studying at Manchester University. She spent the first half of her year abroad in Paris where she worked in a bank, and then decided that volunteering in Buenos Aires would be a nice change, having had it recommended to her about twenty times by people who'd visited. Here she tells us about her experiences with the organisation Voluntario Global.
