SDSU Offers Summer Intensive Language Courses

Registration is now open for SDSU’s summer intensive critical language courses. Students can earn 4-20 units of foreign language credit by immersing themselves in one of today’s most critical languages – Arabic, Persian, or Russian – through the SDSU Language Acquisition Resource Center (LARC).

 

SDSU’s expert instructors will guide students in achieving practical language skills and cultural awareness through conversations, games, writing, multimedia, and other activities based on today’s latest language learning theories and practice.
