As a language student, I retain a current B2 level in Spanish, and an A2/B1 level in French Languages have allowed me to improve my communication skills, especially when I was not especially confident in these languages, I persisted and found a way to communicate with another person I have also learnt to be patient and persistent as languages require constancy in which I had to adapt my life in order to see improvement Languages have enabled me to be more culturally aware of topics that otherwise, I would have no knowledge about My course looks at Latin America, North America, Africa and Europe, allowing me to gain a greater depth of not just linguistic issues, but also social, political and economical issues in these parts of the world During my modules, I have learnt to read and think critically of modern and historical texts and write in an academic style I have also learnt translating and interpreting skills, which further improve my communication and public speaking skills, both of which are vital in the modern workplace I have also started to learn Catalan, meaning that I can gain another linguistic and cultural perspective on the world Especially as Catalan is not commonly spoken by non-native speakers, yet is a rapidly growing language, my language skills will be in increasing demand
