Officials from HBKU have revealed that Qualified language professionals follow the most up-to-date methodologies, using a variety of formats and technology-enhanced learning styles that focus on developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The program is communication-oriented and students are taught entirely in the foreign language, ensuring that all courses are an immersive, enriching cultural experience.

Our courses have helped learners become proficient in the language while getting to appreciate the culture and traditions attached to it. We are pleased to offer on-campus classes and continue our online delivery during the fall semester, and we encourage everyone to embark on a fulfilling language journey.”
