Many Sri Lankan youth think they can’t go abroad because their English isn’t perfect. But here’s the real truth: basic conversational English is enough to start your global internship journey.
AIESEC internships are built for young professionals still developing their skills. Whether your destination is India, Vietnam, Egypt, or Tunisia, you’ll work in environments where simple, everyday English is completely acceptable. You don’t need advanced grammar or fancy vocabulary – just the confidence to communicate your ideas.
And here’s the best part: your English will naturally improve while you work, simply because you’re using it every day. From team meetings to small conversations with colleagues, you’ll build fluency faster than you ever did in a classroom.
AIESEC also provides reassurance and support throughout your journey. From pre-departure preparation to on-ground guidance, you’ll have people to help you settle in, understand instructions, and stay confident. You’ll never be left alone or confused – there’s always someone ready to support you.
It’s not just about language. It’s about growing as a leader, working in real teams, and experiencing how global workplaces operate. You’ll develop problem-solving, adaptability, and communication skills that employers value immensely.
So if you’ve been hesitating because your English isn’t “perfect,” let that go. What you already have is enough. And what you gain abroad will take you even further – in your career and in your confidence.
Don’t wait to be perfect. Use this chance to grow while you work, not before you start.
Your global experience is waiting – and you’re more ready than you think.
