Language Learning

IECE Language programs are ideal for students, teachers, grown ups and anyone who wants to learn a new language or improve existing foreign language skills. Join participants from around the world in experiencing the in-depth language acquisition that occurs while studying a language in the country where it is spoken.

On IECE language program, you will learn language in exciting new ways, using technology and focusing on communication. Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary; it is learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to act in another culture, and know a new community from the inside. Learning another language gives the learner the ability to step inside the mind and context of that other culture. Without the ability to communicate and understand a culture on its own terms, true access to that culture is barred. Keeping culture experiences in mind, we have designed our language program which includes, spice market visit, temple visit, Yoga lessons and many more exciting activities.

With changing times, when people and nations are becoming more dependent on one another for supply of goods and services, to ensure international security, emerging global trade, learning languages has gained an increased importance. Knowing a foreign language will be an added advantage and will lead to enhanced career opportunities. The knowledge of other languages will be a valuable asset in the workplace of tomorrow. Workers will be called upon to cooperate with colleagues in other countries, crossing time zones, languages, and cultures.

Whether it is to satiate your linguistic appetite or to enjoy the challenge of learning foreign language, whatever your reason is, IECE Language program will provide you with best resources and environment to develop your passion.

Learn Hindi

Hindi is the official language of the Republic of India, and the common second language of Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, Guyana and Surinam. Sanskrit, one of the most ancient spoken and written languages in the world and one of the earliest members of the Indo-European language family, is the primary source of Hindi. Hindi, like Sanskrit, is written in the Dev Naagari script, which is common to several other Indian languages as well. Much of the vocabulary of Hindi comes from Sanskrit, though Hindi also has a special relationship with Urdu, their grammar and much of their vocabulary being identical.
