▲ NEW Language Express! Part-time Evening Program
The ideal way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in the language and culture, especially at the outset of your studies.. The current reality, however, leaves people with less time and less disposable income to accomplish this.
That’s why ILI is introducing a new schedule and format this spring. All world language classes are for one and a half hours per week for ten weeks for a total of 15 hours. We have altered the curriculum to allow students to maximize their time using the language.
Classes are fun and interactive with emphasis on student use of the language. Students are asked to review from 5 to 10 minutes a day during the week between classes.
