Speaking a new language takes courage!🗣️✨

Whether it’s a mealtime presentation, a skit, or just a conversation, practicing among peers builds confidence while strengthening language. Every time you step up and speak, you’re another step closer to feeling comfortable in your new language.

Villagers have arrived at Skovsøen!

Yesterday kicked off our official start to the summer season and with that, our campers were able to get settled, play games, do a craft project, and enjoy a delicious meal. Today, we’re back to it, speaking the language, forging new friendships, and creating lasting memories. We’re so excited to see all the new and returning faces to share our love of the language and culture.

You never know when your language skills will become a critical necessity. Read below about one of our very own who found herself in that very situation.

A Minnesota nurse helped rescue a hiker lost for days — and her Concordia Language Villages experience made all the difference.

She’s not just an alum. She’s one of our Village nurses.

You don’t need to speak another language to work here. But you will gain powerful cross cultural skills that stay with you for life.
