No Summer Classes in 2010! Enroll early for Fall 2010

By now, most students are aware that there will not be summer classes offered in 2010 due to the drastic budget cuts. Are you currently in a CCSF foreign language course and intend to continue? Are you a new or returning student looking to add a foreign language class to your fall 2010 schedule? Then enroll early! The fall schedule will be available online the end of April with a slightly larger amount of foreign language courses. We look forward to seeing you in our classes again in August! Meanwhile, there are many resources available to you to keep your language skills current and fresh. Check out the Language Center's resources for all credit languages, see a foreign language movie, watch television in Spanish, Chinese, or Tagalog. Go to a German, French, Japanese or Italian restaurant and order your meal in that language! Check out the Cinderella Bakery out in the Avenues and practice your Russian. San Francisco is an international city, so opportunities abound to use your foreign language skills.
