A question to every native English/american Speaker
In one a year's time, I'll have to do an internship in an advertising agency. and I would like to do it in an English speaking country. Is it necessary to speak fluently the language fluently to to be accepted in internship there?
It all depends on the kind of work you are doing in the internship. If you are writing slogans etc, not only will you have to be fluent speaker, you a great master of the language. You need to know the cultural references etc. For example, Chevolet, marketed their car "Nova" to the Latin countries. In English, the meaning is good. However, in Spanish, "nova" means "no go". This is bad for a name for a car. No matter what, if you are not good in the target language, it will be difficult for you to break into the business. If you are just doing technical work, then it is not that a big of a deal. In any case, you will be given the lowest level of work and slowly work up. How fast depends on your ability of the language.

I have a question for native English/American speakers:
Next year I need to do an internship at an advertising agency, but I would like to do it in an English speaking country. Do I need to be fluent in English to be accepted into an internship?

I think it depends on your job role that you are trying to get. It looks like your grasp of English is good based on your writing, do you just need practice with speaking?

Most Americans don't know another language, and advertising is a field specifically for communication. If you're mostly interested in graphic design and have a basic understanding of English, though, you should be fine.
