START PRICE SHOPPING! Price shopping is great for
products such as TV sets or cars, where you can
make objective comparisons based on BRANDS and
MODELS. However,
when it comes to investing in your future,
SPENDING a few hundred dollars more on your
language course could mean EARNING thousands of
dollars more for the rest of your life! In our
globalized world, speaking two, three or four
languages, CORRECTLY, is a BIG PLUS in the labor
market, fetching significantly higher
remuneration.
Keep in mind, a
language course (as almost all other kind of
services) is based on HUMAN capital. And it's
precisely the quality of human capital that
defines the cost of your language course. The
more expensive programs offer you better
qualified teachers with a higher level of
professionalism. These schools invest in training
their staff members and use modern, up to date
learning materials. Cheaper programs simply can't
afford to do this, meaning a language course with
a much lower return on investment! Learning a
language is a LIFE TIME investment, and you
should seriously consider what it's worth to you
to know another language. For example, if you
start learning a language, but your teachers (due
to a lack of professionalism) don't correct your
pronunciation, it will be much harder for you to
correct it in the future. Much larger, additional
expenditures might be required.
Nevertheless,
there are several, COST CONSCIOUS ways you can
save money on your language instruction, without
sacrificing quality.
- Enroll for super intensive
programs (4 + hrs./day). Although intensive programs might seem
more expensive on a week base rate, it’s actually a way to save
money. You will spend less for accommodations because your stay
is shorter. In some cases, one week of super intensive programs
equals one month of traditional language training.
- Enroll as early
as possible. The earlier you enroll, the earlier
you can make your travel arrangements, AND the
cheaper your airfares will be.
- Spend less on
travel and accommodations. In addition to saving
on airfare, consider arriving at the school on
public transportation. The school’s airport
pick-up service may be quite comfortable, but
good savings are possible using public
transportation. Then, save big on accommodations
by sharing a room with someone.
- If you are
flexible on dates, wait for the special
promotions some schools offer.
