90% of the candidates we send abroad have the primary objective of enhancing their English proficiency. While English levels vary among candidates, the average proficiency level of our candidates is estimated to be at a B1 (intermediate level).
We believe that going abroad is the most effective way to improve your English skills, however, it’s advisable to prepare for the immersion of a new language into your daily life. To help you with this, Roast Jobs offers a range of tools and resources below:
Gymglish
Gymglish provides enjoyable, concise, and personalized online language courses. Gymglish focuses on motivation, consistency, and progress. One notable advantage of this platform is the flexibility it offers, allowing you to progress at your own pace and log in at your convenience. If you are already abroad, these English courses can be especially useful, particularly in industries with unpredictable schedules, such as the restaurant business. Through our partnership, Roast Jobs offers one month of free access to our candidates.

Connecting with People Worldwide
Engaging with native speakers is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. Numerous networks facilitate easy communication with people from different parts of the world. You can begin with platforms like Facebook, where you can find numerous groups for global interaction.
Alternatively, we recommend apps such as “HelloTalk,” “Tandem,” and “Buddy System,” specifically designed to help individuals looking to enhance their language skills connect with native speakers.
Elevate
Initially designed as a brain-training app in English, Elevate aims to keep you mentally sharp, boost your confidence, and enhance your productivity. It presents daily challenges through well-designed and engaging games. While primarily intended for cognitive training, we consider Elevate a valuable resource for improving English skills. However, we recommend it more for individuals with a minimum B2 level in English who seek to expand their vocabulary and grammar.

English in Daily Life
If you haven’t already, we strongly suggest honing your listening skills by watching movies and TV series in English with English subtitles. This practice will significantly contribute to your language proficiency. To further improve your skills, consider reading books in English. Start with books that are not overly challenging, such as the Harry Potter series, or choose books you have already read in French to facilitate comprehension as you begin your journey to language improvement.
