Achieve A2 in French, Italian or German in 20 weeks with ExpatLanguageSchool.net
The first few months after arriving in Switzerland often pass by in a flurry of administrative tasks. Once you've managed to find somewhere to live, opened a bank account, chosen your health insurance plan and maybe even started a new job, all in English or only rudimentary French, German or Italian, it can be tempting to think that you don't actually need to improve your local language skills at all. After all, you've managed fine so far.
However, while you can certainly communicate in English in many parts of Switzerland, to really connect, you need to speak the local language. It is significantly more difficult to engage with community events, chat to your neighbours or fully take part in work activities if you can't have a simple conversation.

Why A2 should be your first goal
Thinking about achieving fluency in a second language can be extremely daunting. When a task seems so big, it can be hard to get started. However, being able to speak a language at A2 level can open many doors: during team meetings, in casual conversations with neighbours, when making appointments or ordering in a restaurant.
At A2, you may not be able to have lengthy discussions about philosophy, but you will start to feel more integrated and part of your local community, both major milestones when moving to a new country.
What's more, with ExpatLanguageSchool.net, this level can be reached in just 20 weeks, making it an achievable goal even for busy professionals. By committing to one private lesson per week, paired with two to three hours of weekly self-study, motivated learners can successfully reach the A2 level. Those with prior experience in learning a foreign language may progress even more rapidly.
