Calling all progressive parents and grandparents! Give the children in your life the gift of a second language today! This might be the leg up they will need to enter the global workforce of tomorrow. All the new brain research tells us that young children are language sponges—they pick up accents, vocabulary and grammar effortlessly.
More than ever, the adults in the American workforce need the skills of a second language to better communicate with their clients, patients, vendors, or customers. Or are you planning a trip abroad? Adults are unique language learners and need lots of practice (and praise) to improve their skills. Community Language School offers evening classes in Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Italian, and Japanese.
UCA has prepared fun after-school classes in Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. These classes will immerse your children in the targeted language through songs, games, skits and other creative activities so that learning will be unforced and action-packed. Take this opportunity to prepare them to be citizens of the world—they may thank you in another language!
