French Classes in Seattle - Washington Language Programs
Washington Academy of Languages, Seattle:
Washington Academy of Languages in Seattle (WAL) celebrates 25 years of offering classes in English as a Second Language (ESL), World Languages and Teacher Education! Our French courses emphasize modern spoken French. Class time stresses communication in the French language in everyday situations and invites students to begin speaking from the first day of class. Emphasis is given to standard French, recognized and understood internationally, so students will be able to communicate with French-speaking people worldwide.
French Language Classes:
- French levels I through VI
- Intermediate French Conversation
- Advanced French Conversation
Washington Academy of Languages offers several levels of French. Levels I through VI teach the basic vocabulary and grammar components of the language: all verb tenses and moods, adjective and adverb forms, pronouns, interrogative words, etc. Advanced Conversation classes are available for students who wish to continue beyond Level VI.
The emphasis of Washington Academy of Languages French classes is on conversation; however, we also work on listening, reading and writing since these four skills are essential to language acquisition. Recent research confirms that a new language is more quickly and more effectively learned when all four skills are used in the learning process. Basic vocabulary in
French is acquired relatively quickly within useful contexts such as the workplace, the family, traveling, the media, the arts and so on. Conversation and listening skills are gained as students practice new vocabulary and grammar points. In addition to the textbook and exercise book materials, video tapes, DVDs, CDs, written texts and Internet resources are used to practice comprehension and to acquaint students with the cultures of the French-speaking world.

Washington Academy of Languages, Seattle
Courses / Programs
At Washington Academy of Languages (WAL) based in downtown Seatte, we provide Arabic programs for beginner to advanced levels. We will teach you the basics of Arabic and guide you along your path of mastering your chosen language. The linguistic situation in the Arab world is unique. The spoken and written languages are not only quite different from one another, but the spoken language also varies widely from one region to another. The literary language (Modern Standard Arabic or al-fuSHaa) is uniform across the Arabic speaking world from Morocco in the West to the borders of Iran in the east, and from Lebanon in the North to the Sudan in the South. However, the spoken language changes from country to country, and even from city to city. Our courses are designed to teach a form of Arabic called Formal Spoken Arabic (also known as "Educated Spoken Arabic," "Inter-Arabic," and "Middle Arabic"), which represents a blend of the major urban colloquial forms.
Intensive Arabic programs for beginners to advanced students. Our courses are designed to teach a form of Arabic called Formal Spoken Arabic (also known as "Educated Spoken Arabic," "Inter-Arabic," and "Middle Arabic"), which represents a blend of the major urban colloquial forms. The writing system is also introduced, although in the beginning, the bulk of the written material will be presented in transcription.
