As promised, here's a brief but hopefully useful explanation of the Global Language Network at GW!
The GLN is a non-profit founded in 2005 by a GW student hoping to expand the linguistic horizons of himself and his fellow students, and to share his talents with others. The organization has expanded since then to offer over 50 languages (originally only 7) at multiple learning levels.
This semester, I hope to take Beginning Farsi through the GLN. The catch is, if you register for a course, it's not guaranteed. Some are more requested than others, so there's a lottery if more people than can be accommodated register for a course. But that is usually for more popular languages like Spanish, French, German, etc. But you can register for up to three at a time, so if you don't get your top pick, you'll surely get one of your top choices!
But the absolute greatest part of GLN courses is that THEY ARE FREE!!! You pay a $100 deposit at first, but as long as you miss no more than three of the weekly classes, you get your money back! It's fantastic! FREE yet effective language courses right on campus!
Here's the info, try a course if you'd like! What do you have to lose?
