Fall 2024 - Monthly Immersion Class Series
September to December 2024
Zoom
Join us for a monthly immersion class focusing on
language immersion. Most of the lessons will be conducted in the target learning language (Hiráaca) and learners will use visual cues and non-verbal gestures (and a little zoom chat) to understand & respond in the language. All language levels are welcome, but participation and speaking are required.
Language Immersion is a learning technique that recreates first language acquisition. Immersion requires conscious effort to stay in the target language (no English). It is known for being very effective with increasing speaking proficiency.
