INTENSIVE DAYS
The Extra Practice You're Looking For.
Learning a language is essentially like a sport - it requires constant practice and training to keep in shape. Even our most advanced students need to stay active with their language skills in order to keep what they've learned fresh in their minds. And many of our students need to practice their skills but don't have the time in their busy schedules to commit to a full class.
INTENSIVE DAYS
Saturdays* (Days May Vary Each Month), 4 hours, $75
RoLa's Intensive Days are designed for students looking for an immersion environment to review or get some extra practice. This one-day multimedia class meets at our Porter Square office. All study materials, as well as a meal, are included within the class fee.
IMMERSION TRIPS
We Take You There Where Languages Live!
Join a group of people and learn your target language while visiting exciting cities. We offer scheduled trips but also conceptualize an individual travel-learning program for you and your friends.
LET'S GO TO SÃO PAULO!
RoLa believes that the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. What better way than visiting a country that speaks your target language?
