LANGUAGE CLASSES

The Hospitality Committee has provided English Language Classes for UN delegates and their families for over 25 years. These classes are well regarded and very well attended. Instruction is offered at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. A separate class focusing on Professional Business English is available for more advanced students. The classes are small and individual attention is stressed. A modest tuition fee is charged and scholarships are readily available each year for those individuals in need of assistance.

The sessions last eight weeks. Tuition is moderate. Enrollment is ongoing throughout the semester, so students can join as they arrive in New York. Also, for your convenience we may offer evening classes in addition to day classes - please check the current schedule for confirmation that evening classes are available.

Please call us if you are interested in improving your English in a very enjoyable way. For information, call our School Director, Pennelope Goodfriend, (212) 534-4325 or email her at pennygfriend@aol.com; Dr. Roberta Seret is the Evening Language School Instructor.
