If you are eager to learn a foreign language or to study it thoroughly, you should know there are many free programs and workshops and also scholarships available for that.

Knowing a foreign language, other than English, that almost everyone can speak these days, can definitely make a difference in various situations, for example when applying for a job.. Fluency in another language is also a great plus when you are already employed, but looking for a promotion. Your employer will certainly pick you over your colleagues for a training course or for a better job offer in Austria, if you can speak German.

Overall, when it comes to work, knowing a foreign language will totally increase the attractiveness of your resume and bring your name in the top of the list.

In many countries, cultural institutes periodically organize foreign languages classes for free, for people to try out and then continue with the full program, if they like it. Libraries and other institutions can also have this kind of classes. Here is an example of a workshop you can attend, if in Houston:
