TALK (Teaching Kids Another Language) is beginning a new semester February 1. This parent-run non-profit organization offers before or after school French and Spanish classes to children K-6 grade on the Korematsu campus. Teachers are fluent speakers and student-teacher ratios are small. Beginning French or Spanish classes are offered M-R 7:40-8:10 am. Afternoon beginning French classes are also offered M, T, and R 3-3:45 pm. Intermediate Spanish classes are offered M-R 7:50-8:20.

Registration is handled by the Davis Art Center (online, phone, or in person; see specific class information in the DAC catalog). With questions or for more information, contact Kristen Alexander at kalexander@csus.edu, our Korematsu TALK Rep.
