“I studied Japanese and French at Leaving Cert and was lucky enough to be chosen for an exchange to Japan at the age of sixteen and had a three weeks adventure being immersed in Japanese culture. I thought it was going to be a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ until I chose to study Japanese and French in college as well. I spent my third year in Kyoto, Japan eating delicious food, going to traditional festivals, bathing in natural springs, travelling around tropical islands, discovering new hobbies like photography and surfing – and studying! I had fun improving my language skills and cultural awareness with Japanese friends as well as international classmates.
Studying languages has given me unforgettable experiences, a broader world view and the skills and knowledge needed to work in the fast growing global market place.”
Claire Long, Graduate BA Applied Languages and Translation Studies, Japanese and French
