Students may self-select the level best suited to their needs and any established linguistic abilities. Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) CONVERSATIONAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY
Level 1: Beginner level courses focus on simple sentence structures, introductions and greetings, directions, common phrases, and uncomplicated exchanges. Basic cultural norms and etiquette are also discussed.

Level 3: Work toward forming concrete exchanges. Topics will be related to: self and family, work, daily activities, personal interests, travel vocabulary, immediate needs such as ordering food and making purchases.
Level 4: Participate actively in a large number of communicative tasks, both formal and informal. Discuss, in the target language, current events, public and personal interests, culture and history.
Conversational courses are offered in several languages. Course levels 3 and 4 will only be held if there is student interest and course levels 1 and 2 have been completed.
