The Center for Global Languages partners with local elementary and middle schools to provide Conversational Spanish and Chinese classes as part of their after-school program offerings.  Students will practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing/grammar in the new language through the use of games, music, drama, arts and crafts, dialogs, and group and paired activities.
