Continuing Education and Languages, Learn in your Spare Time!
You are taking the plunge and are planning the trip of a lifetime across South America. You plan to visit each country for
an extended period of time and see the sights and sounds like that of a local. One problem. And it is a big one: you cannot
speak Spanish and know you will need to know at least a little bit before you
go.
Thankfully, you still have several months before your trip starts, so you can try to learn some Spanish before heading on
your trip. However, you are not sure how to go about learning the language. You see the advertisements on televisions for
the books and CD-ROM sets that claim to teach you the language in just a few days. You are more than skeptical.
Instead, you decide that taking a course with a native speaker would probably be the best bet. But where can you find these
types of courses without enrolling in an actual Spanish language degree program? You are most likely to find programs like
this for people just like you in continuing education programs.
Continuing education programs that have language courses are more tailored to the adult learner who wants to learn the
practical part of the language. The people who take these classes are more than likely using it for business purposes or
for recreational purposes. They need to know the phrases and need to practice conversation. Continuing education classes
like this are great for that.
How can you find continuing education courses where you can learn all the important parts of the language in the shortest
amount of time? Well, most colleges and universities offer language courses for adult learners that do not involve enrolling
in a degree program. To find out more about these types of courses, call your local college and university and speak to an enrollment specialist
about the registration process, the class times and what you can expect to learn in the class.
Most times, these classes are led by native speakers who can provide the much needed practice to perfect your accent and
comprehension of the language. These courses are usually offered in a beginner, intermediate and advanced level that allows
people to learn at their own pace. Students can also retake courses if they choose to perfect something they did not feel
like they mastered previously.
Some colleges and universities also offer courses in other languages like Arabic, French, Italian and German, mostly
depending on what part of the country you live in and your interests. Arabic language courses have increased in popularity
in the years since 9/11 and will most likely continue to rise in popularity as refugees continue to come to this country.
On the flip side, continuing education courses are also offered to non-English speakers who have recently come to this
country. These immigrants want to learn the language and continuing education courses like this provide the best format
for them to do so.
So say “hola” to continuing education and learn enough Spanish to spend your vacation like a local.
