| FROM Insead Admissions Blog: Tackling a New Language |
 The INSEAD language policy was a unique quality that attracted me to the school. This was a school not claiming to be diverse, but proving it in their rigorous requirements. Since I had 2 entry languages I didn’t put much thought into the exit requirement until I was accepted and began the transition…and then realized, wait a minute, I have to learn another language! I took INSEAD’s advice to start early on my exit requirement. Well, I guess I’m always looking for an excuse to do something different and I figured the only way for me to make decent progress would be to immerse myself completely. For 2 months prior to the program start, my husband and I lived in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico so I could attend a language school in the city. I’m proud to say that 8 weeks later I rarely give blank stares when I’m asked a sentence in Spanish, and have learned a ton. There is something to say about the mental challenge and satisfaction you get when you can actually string a set of words together in a new language. I’ll be attempting to satisfy the exit requirement by taking the test during orientation. Wish me luck! As a native English speaker and with English being so common worldwide, it is easy to forget that many people you are communicating with have learned “the hard way”. And although my motivation to start studying a third language was to satisfy an exit requirement, in the end it has provided me with incredible insight on a new culture and a keen interest on continuing to develop my language skills. Something I simply didn’t make a priority before joining INSEAD. So if you’re like me and frankly a bit intimidated about attacking that exit requirement, just keep in mind that a rewarding experience is worth the struggle…and you might just uncover a new interest. |
