Though we got our start with the Romance Languages, Speak! is now offering courses and services in ESL (English as a Second Language), Turkish, Russian and soon Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic. As we expand our menu of language offerings, please let us know if there is a language you desire to speak that we haven’t yet included in the language-culture spectrum.

I absolutely love my Spanish classes at Speak! I have so much more confidence now in my ability to speak with the parents of some of my students who don’t speak English. I love the informal set-up of the classes, and I’m so proud of my class for being able to talk about almost anything in Spanish.
