The best intern work by a language student is to work as a museum guide in the best museums all over Europe. Imagine speaking different languages to explain the different history of the artifacts. International Studies student usually studies different language. The basics of a certain language are not enough for you to speak the language understandably but it is a stepping stone to learn more of the language.
As they say the best way to learn is by doing it. Language students who would like to polish their language skills would be best immersed in a kind of work that involves language communication. A museum attendant or guide is the best way to polish such language skills.
Interns should have the common sense to be at their best intellectually and professionally when doing their internship. So, before going on their internship year they should be prepared enough to tackle the real-work atmosphere. Or else, they would be a graduate who did not learn the basics of their course.
Museums artifacts are a very interesting thing to tackle. They would be the best subject to research and be very fluent about. Pictures and paintings are also the best subjects to talk to visitors of such museums as they speak volumes of what is going on the volumes.

Even in the issues of internship there must be class. Imagine being able to work for the President of the United States. Could you imagine yourself as part of the White House’s team to cater to everyday office work in the White House? You read me right White House. Or perhaps create applications that would be used worldwide?
White House indeed accepts interns to work on daily office works, attend seminars, take part in tours, partake to community service or volunteer at special events. About 100 interns are accepted in the White House during summer, spring and fall. Of course thousands of applications are passed for just these few 100 internship positions. Internships in the White House are unpaid positions yet indeed you flaunt such internship experience with such pride in your CVs. If the White House can accept you why not others! Right!?
Another great opportunity is to work as paid intern in Microsoft companies. And what more could you ask if you are a software programmer and got to do your intern in the number one software company in the world. You will then make programs to be used by hundreds of people. You help create internet applications to be used by people beyond your countries boundaries or even by friends. The pride you got on these limitless opportunities you got in internship abroad is beyond words.
