Purpose: This study focused on qualitative research using phenomenological analysis methods to understand the meanings based on the real experiences of nursing students who participated in short-term language learning abroad. Methods: In this study, 11 nursing university students with short-term language learning abroad experiences were conveniently sampled and analyzed in a phenomenological approach using Colaizzi(1978)’s analysis method based on in-depth interview data. Results: They were classified into 15 topics based on the content analyzed by the interviews with researchers and students, and similar topics were collected and organized into five categories and described. The five categories were 'Changes in English', 'Changes in school life', 'Changes in life attitudes', 'Experiences in various teaching methods', and 'Experiences in diverse cultures'. Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for improving the quality of the effects of short-term language learning abroad programs for nursing students to participate. The participants showed that they had been positively influenced by the experience of various cultures and had improved their English skills, and changed their perceptions of English.
