Whether you're a first-time student at CCSF enrolled in a foreign language class, or a continuing/returning student, the Language Center
offers a wide variety of resources for every language learner. These
include audio materials on iMacs (with voice recording capabilities) for
each textbook, high-speed internet access for foreign-language-related
materials selected by faculty here at CCSF, as well as links to
publishers' websites where you will find chapter-by-chapter materials,
such as online flashcards and self-tests. But wait, there's more! You'll find interactive, textbook-based CD-Roms for French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish, as well as CD-Roms for Mandarin (PinyinMaster, Critical Language Series), Cantonese (Critical Language Series, and Japanese (Power Japanese). There are writing programs installed on the PC's for French, Spanish, and Chinese, MS Word software enabled to create Russian, German, Japanese and Italian accent marks or characters. Rounding things out is a collection of DVDs and videos, most notably for French, Italian, and Spanish.
Faculty monitors with backgrounds in most of the languages taught at CCSF are here to answer your questions or refer you to the language tutors in the Learning Assistance Center, so schedule a regular visit to the Language Center this semester. You'll be glad you did!
