FOREIGN LANGUAGE SUMMER INTENSIVES
There are more than 100 languages spoken by the residents of New York City. Learn Arabic,
French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Persian, Russian, or Spanish this summer, and practice
your new language skills in the city’s ethnic neighborhoods.
Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced student, take 51 hours of classroom instruction
and participate in field trips (times vary) where you practice the language, sample the food, and
explore the life of these cultures.
WHO SHOULD ENROLL
These intensives are designed for students planning to attend graduate school, study or
travel abroad, or learn a language for personal or professional purposes. For level I and II
courses, no prior knowledge is required. For level III and IV, completion of level I and II courses
or one semester of college-level coursework is required. The Hindi and Persian Intensives are
designed for students with mixed abilities.
FACULTY
Our faculty have years of experience teaching foreign languages. Most are either native
speakers or have lived at length in the cultures of the languages they teach.
PROGRAM NOTES
Intensives may count as two courses toward a continuing education Certificate in Foreign
Languages or three undergraduate credits, but not both.
