I’ve learned more about the culture and literature of the Spanish-speaking world, enabling me to become a more informed and appreciative citizen.
Susan White
The refreshers on Spanish grammar and vocabulary made me realize how much I enjoyed learning and how fun it was to communicate in another language. The learning environment in these classes is supportive and fun, the instructors are knowledgeable, and the fellow students are diverse. It’s too good to pass up.

I had a wonderful experience taking French 2 as an online class. I felt like we built a little community online as the weeks went on and felt extremely fortunate to have an instructor from France. She taught us so much about the culture and nuances about the language that you can’t get from a book.
