Language Learning Center
Welcome to the Language Learning Center
“Language learning goes far beyond grammar and learning how to speak another language. The experience and skills that you will acquire through language will transform the way you see the world. Your language experience will pave the path to global citizenship and provide career advantages, both locally and internationally.”
Abeer Al-Mohsen, Assistant Director of Language Education
