Do research on your country of choice. Consider the popularity of this destination for study abroad or tourism. Remember that there is always time to visit the well-known cities in a country during weekends and school breaks. Sometimes living in a less popular destination means you will have a greater chance to get to know people from the host country. If you do not speak a foreign language, it does not mean that you have to study in an English-speaking country.
Many programs offer classes in English in non English-speaking countries.
Most schools will not allow you to repeat a language course for credit that you have already taken. Make sure you can start at the next level in any language course you take. A semester or longer program is recommended for students with goals of foreign language fluency. In general, you should have at least two years of college language courses or the equivalent to do this. The majority of University System of Georgia students attend short-term summer study abroad programs.
