As the new year is full steam ahead, the NCFU teachers waste no time to improve – they go on studying languages, even though this is not what they teach.

Studying a foreign language cannot but take time and effort and may seem a complicated task when you work full-time. However, switching activities may not only help relax yet also enhance your working capacity and lighten up your heart.

– Our foreign language classes do not only mean mastering newer knowledge and improving your communication skills. This is also a great way to feel what students feel once again. And this, as I see it, is something that is a must for any teacher seeking to progress professionally, – Alexander Pashkovsky (Head of Dept for Mathematical and Humanities Subjects) was quoted as saying.

The classes are held at the Department for Mathematical and Humanities Subjects (Nevinomyssk Branch of NCFU) where both teachers and students are welcome to join a German for Beginners course, the purpose of that being not only teaching them another language but help plunge into a new culture. 

– English has already become a tool for international communication, and studying another language may seem useless. However, expanding your knowledge a little more is also a way to find new friends and partners Nelson Mandela said that speaking to someone their language means you are speaking to their mind, – Vera Golodnaya (Associate Professor, Dept for Mathematical and Humanities Subjects) noted.

Experts note that once you start learning a new language, especially a foreign one, the brain will produce endorphins, thus improving your mood and self-confidence, and this is not where the benefits come to an end – add here better memory and cognitive flexibility develops, both important to succeed in any kind of intellectual activity.
