Description
Consider moving to another country. The same difficulties of moving to a new city within the U.S. are combined with a new language and a foreign culture. inlingua's Pre-Departure Training prepares individuals or families for the move to a foreign location so that the likelihood of a failure is reduced. A needs assessment is done and a specific program is developed consistent with the experience and need of the individual or family. Special program sections are oriented to the needs of the transferee, the non-working spouse, teenagers and children. For more information, view the program outline.
