Welcome to the Centre for Language Learning! We offer short, non-specialist, foreign language courses in Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Yoruba. Our courses emphasize using the target language for communicating with speakers of that language. They focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the target language, and knowing and using the grammar and culture of that language.

All successful language learning requires a commitment of time and effort. Before registering, carefully consider if your present schedule will allow you enough time to dedicate to learning a language. Whether you want to be able to understand your favourite Japanese anime; sing along to the latest bachata song; travel to France; study in Germany, China or Korea; or gain a competitive edge in the workplace, we are happy to help you make those dreams a reality.
