Do you need to write a business letter in Portuguese?
Or practice reading in Chinese?
How about improving your French accent?
Or how about trying one of our NEW Japanese Group Classes?

Our Approach ILI's foreign language courses are tailored to suit the student's specific needs and goals. We offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced class levels in each language. However, our instructors do not follow a fixed curriculum for each class. Every class is different because every student is different. Our instructors focus on the student's primary objectives in learning the language. Whether the student's aim is to learn survival Spanish before taking a vacation to Buenos Aires, or to learn the proper vocabulary to write a business proposal in Japanese, we can design the course to meet the student's professional, social, or educational needs.   Register NOW for: Japanese Group Classes!   Spanish Group Classes!  NEW: Also offered in Gaithersburg, MD   Medical Spanish Group Class!   Arabic Group Classes!   German Group Classes!   Farsi Group Classes!   French Group Classes!   Mandarin Group Classes!   Hindi Group Class!   Italian Group Class!   Portuguese Group Classes!   Russian Group Classes!   Korean Group Classes!   Language for Travelers!  (available in Latin-American Spanish, Spanish for Spain, French, German, Mandarin, Italian and Portuguese) Our Classes Our courses may be taken as a private tutorial, semi-private tutorial (2 students), or special group course (3-5 students). Because of our approach, students in our semi-private tutorial or special group course must have the same objectives in mind. For example, a group would consist of employees of a same company, embassy, or professional organization. Location While most instruction takes place at the Institute on Dupont Circle, it is recognized that circumstances may not permit some students within the Washington, D.C. area to attend classes at our facilities. Therefore, instruction may be given at the office or home of the student(s). There is a surcharge of $10 per session for instruction within the Beltway and $16 for trips beyond the Beltway. We are also offer some of our group classes in Gaithersburg, MD. Schedule Classes are normally scheduled Mondays through Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Other schedules may be arranged upon request. Please indicate your desired schedule of instruction on the application form. The schedule of instruction may be changed only with the prior agreement of the Foreign Language Director. Class sessions normally consist of two or more instructional hours of 50 minutes each. Cancellations & Make up Classes Classes may not be made up for any individual in a class consisting of more than one student. Classes may be made up only if severe weather, instructor unavailability or a similarly compelling factor prevents conduct of the class. Classes cancelled by the student(s) (including "no-shows") may be made up only if notice given by the student to the Program Director's office is received at least 24 hours prior to cancellation of one or more classes (by noon Friday for any classes held on Saturday or Sunday); or if one or more classes are not held through no fault of the student. If a student fails to cancel on time, full tuition must be paid for the missed class(es).   Substitute Instructors The International Language Institute reserves the right to assign substitute instructors whenever necessary.   Questions?
