In all adult classes, the emphasis is on conversation, vocabulary building and pronunciation, with enough grammar to provide a firm foundation. The goal is maximum language acquisition for meaningful, real-life communication in an enjoyable, relaxed and supportive learning environment.

Children's classes are an immersion in the living atmosphere of language via games, stories, song, whole body movement, food and crafts.

Travelers Language Café - language intensive for travelers.
Designed to facilitate your travels by introducing you to conversational systems on various themes that you encounter while traveling: booking a hotel, shopping, getting directions, using the phone, making friends, and many more. Instead of memorizing phrases, learn basic “patterns of conversation” that you can apply to a variety of circumstances. Practical travel tips and cultural orientation are highlighted.

FOR CHILDREN
Family Programs
These are intended for multigenerational attendance; preschool age children with an adult family member, and other siblings, can attend together. These are available as ongoing programs, weekend mini-camps and summer immersion camps.

Young Adult
Middle-school and high-school students enrolled in this program can receive a high school foreign language credit. These are usually year-long programs that meet a minimum of twice a week for 1.5 hrs. Our teen students can also participate as counselors and junior-counselors in the summer camps program.
