Why Santa Monica is a Great Place to Study Language
Santa Monica is home to people from a variety of cultures. About 25% of the residents that were born outside the United States and the number grows each year. Although Santa Monica has limited choices in terms of college, there are employment opportunities for people with a foreign language degree. Internship opportunities for foreign language majors are somewhat limited in this city. However, several non-profit organizations in Santa Monica offer volunteer opportunities for people with foreign language, interpretation or translation skills. Volunteering is a good way to practice language skills and gain relevant experience. Santa Monica offers a few cultural festivals during the year. These give students a chance to practice language skills and experience other cultures. Information on these can be found at the Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division.
