It Starts With Me

This course is for learning languages who have tried to learn and haven’t felt successful.  This is a language preparatory course, not a “language” proficiency course.  By the end of this 9-week course, learners will understand what it takes to learn a language and about proficiency levels, and they will develop a personal language learning plan. Classes are In-person or Online.
