How will I be taught?

Speaking and understanding the spoken language are very important skills for most people. Our classes concentrate on building your confidence in the language and you can expect to be taught in the language you are learning and have plenty of opportunity to participate in class.

The course materials are related to real life, enabling you to acquire knowledge of the country as well as its language. You will be given work to do each week.

How often and how long for?

Some of our classes are intensive and meet twice a week for 8 weeks, while others run for 16 weeks, one evening a week. All Spoken Summer courses meet once a week over 8 weeks.
