Not knowing a language should not hold you back from studying abroad. Nor should it mean you can only study in an English-speaking country. It IS possible to study abroad in a country even if you have no prior knowledge of the country's language or cultural norms.

Jonathan Key, Director of CIEE programs in the Netherlands, provides insight into the academics, programming and supports services for students participating in programs where they don't speak the local language.
