In which cities did the candidate study abroad or work to strengthen bilingualism?

• A. Vienna, Austria and Madrid, Spain
• B. Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, Korea
• C. Paris, France and Rome, Italy
• D. Dublin, Ireland and Lisbon, Portugal

Answer: (A)

Immersion in environments where another language is spoken daily accelerates bilingual growth. Studying or working in Vienna and Madrid puts the candidate right in the heart of two major languages—German and Spanish—giving continuous practice, cultural context, and practical communication skills essential for hospitality. This pair demonstrates a deliberate effort to strengthen bilingual abilities across two widely used languages in Europe, which is highly valuable in Marriott’s global operations. Other options focus on different language pairs (Japanese/Korean, French/Italian, English/Portuguese), offering a distinct bilingual profile, but don’t align with the same two-language immersion in European contexts.
