Language
Learning
Gain confidence and fluency through lively conversation, interactive role plays and improvisation. Build your vocabulary, explore idioms and conquer grammar obstacles. Improve your pronunciation and listening skills. Address your professional needs such as interviews, presentations, CVs and resumes, Linkedin profiles, cover letters, or publicity materials for your artist’s portfolio.
Multimedia
Approach
Be stimulated and challenged by a variety of current multimedia resources. Have fun discovering colloquial expressions and slang used in everyday, popular culture. Become familiar with cultural nuances, social influences and trends. Read articles from BBC, New York Times, Le Monde Diplomatique, or Comix and Graphic novels. Listen to TED Talks, New Yorker/NPR podcasts, and France Culture Talk Shows. Learn from YouTube clips, song lyrics, and Netflix series.
Cultural
Immersion
Learn in a mobile studio on the go. Enjoy curated site visits to any location of special interest to you and engage in the arts and ideas of the culture. Explore museums and galleries, historical neighborhoods and architectural magnets, or tech hotspots and startups. Bring your language skills to life in conversation with local people you meet on urban walking tours across the vibrant cityscape of San Francisco.
