Gary Macintoch, USA: I got an internship with a clothing manufacturer in Spain. My duties included translating important legal documents and assisting clients. My business Spanish has improved a lot as I’ve had to learn lots of business words. And the contacts I made will be useful in the future. I was chosen to be the company representative during a week-long business trip to London. My English was very valuable in Europe as most international business is conducted in English. The whole thing was a fantastic opportunity to find out about a different culture.
Sophie Fischer, Germany: I worked for three months for a property development company in China on a series of new luxury apartments. I had to sort out all the details of the facilities – sport centre, saunas, coffee bars, etc. I was a bit nervous doing something so big but I was very proud when I delivered the final results to my manager. Working for a big company was very interesting, and my boss always took me to business meetings and on tours. It was a challenge working in such a different culture, but it was an international company so we spoke English.
Marco Parenti, Italy: For the past three months I have worked for an international manufacturing company in Argentina. I am helping research shaving foam in order to define the future market requirements and new technologies. When I arrived I had no knowledge of Spanish but I have had lessons and I am improving fast. They found me accommodation and gave me a living allowance. The high point is the people. They are warm, friendly and always willing to try and understand.
