Today to speak a foreign language is not an advantage any more, but it’s real must-have for a successful specialist. And if just 10 years ago speaking English was a great bonus for an applicant willing to occupy a prestigious post, so now this applicant has to fluently speak at least two-three foreign languages. It’s grounded by increasing competition among professional human resources and general globalization.
Language courses is an option of learning or improvement of one’s philological knowledge. Language courses study is quite effective method of learning and practice of some foreign language, since educational process takes place in mini-groups guaranteeing maximum volume of oral practice of a learned language. English language courses in Kiev are still leaders among language courses thanks to huge popularity of this language worldwide and particularly in Ukraine. Romance languages are becoming now more popular and that’s why Spanish language course is a real trend for Ukraine. In the nearest future number of Spanish-speaking persons in the world will come very close to the number of English-speaking ones. Italian occupies a special place among Romance languages being a language of fashion, music and love. In Kyiv Italian language courses are not so widely presented but speaking Italian fluently is obligatory for employers of fashion industry, furniture, lighting, design and hotel and restaurant industry. But choosing a language school please mind such things as method of teaching, number of students in a group and speaking practice of a learned language.
