A foreign language curriculum generally has different levels — from novice to advanced, depending on your skill level. An introductory-level Spanish course, for example, will typically cover the basics of grammar as well as Spanish culture, including hints on business etiquette. Most courses will supply a workbook and CD-ROM to help you study both in and out of class. Though prices of course vary from school to school, most language education programs around the metro area generally charge about $150 for courses that range from seven to 10 weeks in length and include supplies. Regardless of which schools or languages peak your interest, visit the campus and facilities and make sure the instructors are well qualified. Ask about each course's teacher-student ratio and the instructors’ qualifications. Look for instructors who have lived in foreign countries, as they can offer insights into much more than just the basics of the structure of a language — they can provide an understanding of the culture of the language(s) they teach. You should expect to receive a certificate of completion for each course and level of completion. Related Articles  Would you like to comment on this article?Nobody has commented on this article yet.
