Wondering what learning a new language has got to do with International Men’s Day (every 19th November)? Good question.
This annual day is a global movement to champion men’s wellbeing, positive conversations about masculinity, and awareness of issues affecting boys and men. And you know what? Learning a new language plays a vital role.
This is because language learning supports and promotes confidence, curiosity, and connection. And these things are life-changing, at any age.
It builds community. It keeps the brain sharp. It enables greater self-expression. And it connects males of all demographics to new cultures and friendships.
At award-winning language school la Academia, we’re all for helping you become the best version of yourself. And what better time to celebrate some of the men who’re making the magic happen?
