World Languages
Begin or continue your journey toward mastering Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese or Spanish . You will work toward understanding written and oral expression as well as learn a different cultural perspective. CDs and web based materials, videos and other forms of technology will assist your instruction and enhance your progress.

In beginning classes, emphasis is on the acquisition of a new set of linguistic habits. Learn to communicate using a different syntax, pronunciation, grammar and way of writing. In our more advanced classes, there is substantial practice in writing, conversation, exposure to literary texts, as well as reinforcing the already acquired skills.
