Online Educational Talks - https://www.capa-hc.org/weekly-talk

Chinese American Parent Association of Howard County (CAPA-HC) is holding online educational talks for school age children since April 9.

Topic: Language Learning Abroad to Expand Your Horizon

Time: May 14, 2021 8:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Speaker: Sonia Su and Theo Goetemann

​

Learning a language is a great way to expand your horizons. But it's one thing to learn a language in class -- and a completely different animal to learn abroad. This talk focuses on foreign language programs and how to get the most (linguistically) out of your time in another country.

​
