Classes are filling up at Upstate International. There are at least 11 reasons to fall into a new language this year: American Sign Language, Chinese, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Spanish for Kids and Thai. Impress your family, friends and colleagues. Enhance your resume, expand your employment opportunities and deepen your travel experiences. Whether you want to learn a language for work, play, travel, or to merely stimulate your brain, Upstate International has a class for you.

Classes are conducted in an informal and relaxed atmosphere and are limited to 3-15 people to allow for more personal attention and an atmosphere most conducive to learning. Every class is taught by a native speaker dedicated to helping each student succeed. Classes meet either once or twice a week, beginning the week of September 9th and ending by December 13th.

Regular classes meet once a week for an hour and cost $95 for the entire twelve week semester. Intensive classes meet twice a week for 90 minutes each and cost $310 for the ten-week intensive semester. Annual membership is $50 per person or $75 for a family and is required for every student. Instructors teach to the interests of the students, and social interaction is part of our curriculum. Classes are held at Upstate International, 9 S. Memminger Street, Greenville, 29601.
