We are also offering classes for kids in American Sign Language, French and Spanish. Classes begin the week of March 22nd and end by June 4th. Why is this important? Language learning is proven to improve your critical thinking skills, memory and multitasking abilities, as well as enhancing your resume and career opportunities, travel and communication abilities.

Spring regular classes are $90, meeting once a week for 8 weeks; each class is 75 minutes and will be conducted at the UI Center or online.

Take advantage of language learning this semester with class fees at just about $10.00 per hour! Upstate International, a nonprofit, strives to keep the cost low to allow as many Upstate residents as possible the opportunity to learn a new language or brush up on one they used to know. Class sizes are small, only 3 to 10 students, providing optimal student engagement and to enhance the learning experience; and, classes are taught by native speakers eager to share their language and culture and dedicated to helping each student succeed. These classes are the perfect way to grow your global and local network!
