Classes are supplemented by practice in the language laboratory, and recorded materials are available for outside listening. Participants are encouraged to live on campus in a language dormitory where additional opportunities to use the target language will be more readily available. Fee per two-week course is $625. Programs also offered include: weekends in White Plains, New York City, and at SUNY New Paltz, resort weekends at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz and the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, Conn.
