Michigan State University Community Language School

The Community Language School (CLS) will be on hiatus starting at the beginning of the 2023 fall semester; and the future of CLS will be reevaluated this coming year. We sincerely hope that CLS will be able to re-emerge at a future date as we truly believe in the transformative power of not-for-credit language education for all.

Thank you for being a part of the Community Language School (CLS). Your support over the years has meant a lot to many of us working towards CLS’s success.

If you have questions related to language needs or other requests, please contact [email protected]

We have 3 different Japanese classes for kids and teens and even one for adults! 🥳

Learning another language will help you appreciate your own culture as well as your own language as it improves your communication and cognitive skills. Accessing a culture very different from your own will make you realize that cultures and languages ​​vary. Give it a try!🥳 🇫🇷

Apprendre une autre langue vous aidera à apprécier votre propre culture ainsi que votre propre langue, car cela améliore votre communication et vos compétences cognitives. Accéder à une culture très différente de la vôtre vous fera réaliser que les cultures et les langues varient.
