The real challenge is language barriers while studying abroad
If you are planning to study in countries like France, Germany, Italy, then you must read this blog completely. What about others who are going to countries like the US, the UK, Australia? We have something for you. Be patient.
Studying abroad is a dream for many. Many students spend over a year to get placed in their dream university. Dreams always have challenges in them.
One such challenge is language barriers while studying abroad. We have seen so many students struggling to communicate with the native of a foreign language. Agreed, it’s difficult to speak their native language.
What if I say these tips and tricks help you curb language barriers while studying abroad. Let’s jump in.
1. Break Shy Shackles
While speaking with new people in a foreign country, you may feel shy or embarrassed. You can’t wait for 5 years, learn the language and then start conversations. It’s not possible, right?
To speak with confidence, you need to be bold and speak up. After a few conversations, it will be easy as you start understanding what the other person is saying.
2. Movies and TV Series
This is by far the best way to kickstart the proceedings. Watch as many movies or tv series as possible, you’ll surely get a firm grip of the language. Movies are stories that are filled with conversations. So it’s easy to learn a new language that way.
I am not suggesting you watch news channels because they are very formal. Your language will be odd when you speak to your friends.

3. Practise makes a man perfect
Just keep on speaking. Learn new words and form sentences out of them. Record what you speak and listen to it. This will help you to speak the language faster.
Download some language learning apps, you’ll be off to a flying start. No need to write and practice if you just want to speak.
4. The accent is very important
In the beginning, I asked some abroad aspirants to be patient. Yes, students who have a desire to study in the US, the UK, and Australia.
The accent is a very important thing which so many people don’t care about. Socialization is the best way to speak fluently in a particular accent. Every city has a unique accent. It’s a bit tricky, not difficult though.

To Conclude
It takes months to master a language, for some languages, it may take years. All you need is patience and be persistent to go through the process.
