Welcome
We are a dynamic, multi-lingual community where you will develop your linguistic abilities under the mentorship of a dedicated international faculty.
Our faculty emphasize practical knowledge and cultural content through film, literature, guest speakers, poetry readings and field trips to plays, museums and more. Classes, particularly at the intermediate and upper-division level, are small and provide opportunity for a great deal of individualized attention.
