World Languages at CCAE
With a friendly group setting and students from all backgrounds, our classes empower students to use languages confidently with plenty of opportunity for practice and participation.
We use the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to guide our language programs. Language schools around the world use the CEFR to assess students and give direction to instructors. Learn more about our language levels.

"Neha [Coureil] is super nice and knowledgeable about the French language and France. She is demanding but not harsh at all. She brings fun things to class like songs and youtube videos about modern France to keep things interesting. We focused on useful phrases and vocabulary for anyone traveling to France which was exactly what I wanted. Loved it!"

“A good variety of different ways of learning/practicing Spanish. Luz [Elena Zuluaga] was very good at tailoring activities to different skill levels without judgement. I have tried to learn Spanish as an adult a few times, but never stuck with it. This class has made me feel I will keep going this time. Thank you!”

“Petra [Bittner] was organized, engaged, patient, and really funny! (Humor is very important during a pandemic!). I looked forward to class every week and enjoyed getting to know the other participants. We learned a lot and had a lot of laughs together! Ich habe viel Spass gehabt!”

“After 8 weeks, I'm preparing to give a presentation about myself IN MANDARIN!!! This is an amazing accomplishment and, yes, I worked hard, but the teacher is inspirational and extremely supportive. I am looking forward to continuing Mandarin with her! I thoroughly enjoyed this class and I feel like I accomplished something significant. It was a wonderful experience.”
