Language Intensives in L.A.
The 2008 summer program featured classes in fourteen languages: Arabic, Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian, Chinese, Estonian, Hebrew, Igbo, Iranian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian/Moldavian, Russian, Swahili, Tigrinya, and Turkish.
Please note that the list of languages for Summer '09 will be posted in the Spring of 2009.
Take advantage of Los Angeles' status as a multilingual, multicultural capital to learn another language. Language Intensives combine rigorous classroom work with visits to local ethnic communities, allowing you to hear and speak the language in authentic settings.
Most courses are 6 to 8 weeks long and satisfy the foreign language requirement of UCLA's College of Letters and Science, School of Arts and Architecture and School of Theater, Film and Television (equivalent to one year of instruction).
