Language Workshops

In addition to our regular term classes, we offer conversation and grammar workshops, open to both members and non-members.


Grammar workshops are a one-time event designed to help students focus on and practice a very specific topic. Each grammar workshop is offered only a few times a year.


Conversation workshops are offered more frequently, and you can sign for just one at a time, or come to as many as you can.
