With the world feeling smaller these days, the impulse to reach out, communicate, and continue to learn is a natural reaction. Luckily, there is no shortage of online resources available to those seeking to acquire or sharpen language skills. Two recent New York Times articles provide a thorough list of apps, platforms, and services designed to boost fluency, as well as the perfect Netflix selections to supplement your study.
We at CALA encourage the use of these valuable resources to begin or bolster knowledge of another language. The language courses we are offering in the Summer term provide something further – the invaluable experience of taking a class with a language expert and motivated classmates. Engage in conversations to improve your communication skills and add that “je ne sais quoi” to your fluency. Hone your pronunciation, sharpen your listening skills, and discuss cultural issues in our dynamic community of learning. Our courses will complement the resources highlighted in The Times, taking your skills to the next level while connecting you with a community of students and scholars.
Summer languages offered include: French, Italian, Japanese, Modern Standard Arabic, Modern Greek, Persian (Farsi), Spanish, Mandarin, Norwegian, Swedish, and Russian. Our online summer sessions begin on June 1st and July 13th.
