The Centre for English and World Languages (CEWL) has been successfully running Language Express evening classes for almost a decade. The provision has grown from strength to strength with currently a choice of 11 languages at a number of different ability levels. The languages available include Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Modern Greek, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.<\/p>\n
Our 20 week course begins in October and runs until the end of March with the full selection of 11 languages available. In January, we offer a shorter 10 weeks Beginners’ course in either French, Mandarin or Spanish. All classes take place in the evening and are open to students, staff and members of the local community.<\/p>\n
We recently heard from Megan Tucker, a former Modern Greek Language Express student, who got in contact to let us know how learning the language has made a huge difference during her year abroad in Greece.<\/p>\n
“I was a part of your Greek language course at the university of Kent, and I thought I would send you a little update about how living in Greece has been so far!<\/em><\/p>\n I moved to Piraeus almost two weeks ago now, and it has been absolutely brilliant!<\/em><\/p>\n I have been able to hold small talk with people, and also order food in tavernas. On Sunday I got completely lost and my phone battery died, but I managed to find my way home by asking people for directions in Greek, and understanding their response! I am going to look for either a tutor or a Greek language course to further my skills, as I\u2019d like to be involved in office conversations a bit more; I can understand so much more than I could before your lessons, but I think it will take me a while and a bit more practice before I begin understanding fully!<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve already explored so much of Greece and I plan to explore so much more, and with the Greek skills I have I know I can get by okay!<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you again for your help, it has been a life saver (literally!)”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you would like more information on our Language Express courses, please visit our website\u00a0<\/a>or email languageexpress@kent.ac.uk<\/a><\/h4>\n
