Dubai (OPENPRESS) December 29, 2010 -- As the year draws to an end, UAE residents are welcoming the New Year by setting personal goals for things they would like to accomplish in the upcoming months. Learning how to speak a new language is one of the most popular resolutions this New Year among UAE residents - reports Eton Institute, a leading training and development institute based in Dubai Knowledge Village. The institute has witnessed a 17% surge in enquiries in the past month from individuals wishing to upgrade their language skills in 2011. The most requested languages include Arabic, French, Spanish and Italian.
Dr. Eli Abi Rached, Director of Eton Institute, remarked: "The turn of the year is the perfect time to take a moment to reflect on the things you've always wanted to do and achieve. Resolutions are a great way of ensuring that each year counts for more than the last in terms of personal growth. Learning a new language in particular, is one of the most popular resolutions in the Emirates, due to the vibrant and multicultural nature of our society. Almost everyone has friends or colleagues who speak different languages and with whom they would love to converse in their native language."
