We usually offer three sessions of courses per academic year, thus, in many cases, you can take up to three successive levels between September and June. If you are interested in one of the courses where more than one level is offered and are not sure about your level, please leave your name and telephone number with the Language Programs office (250-721-8630) and an instructor will call you to assess your level of proficiency. Here are some of the languages we’ve been offering this fall: Arabic French German Italian Japanese Mandarin Brazilian Portuguese Spanish Swedish A new range of language courses will be available in January 2015, so make sure to watch for the new Continuing Studies Calendar, coming in December 2014! www.LearningThatShapes.ca26
