The
ICU provides an opportunity for people to experience a rich diversity of cultures and ideas by learning another language in an informal, supportive
setting.
Both the language classes and the English conversation clubs play a
major role in advancing the ICU's goal of "sharing a world of
cultures."
All classes are held in eight-week
sessions and are taught by native speakers.
Language students must be
ICU members
and pay a fee of $40 per term (use our
online payment option). Some classes have a higher fee; see the notes below. Fees help cover ICU expenses
and support the further development of language classes. Meetings
are held at the ICU, 1st floor of City Hall, 206 South Main Street,
Greenville.
If you are interested in teaching your own native language, please contact us or visit our
Volunteer site for further information.

ENGLISH AND SPANISH CONVERSATION CLUBS (ESL)
The ICU English and Spanish Conversation Clubs offer an opportunity
for speakers from different cultures to meet together,
practice their spoken English and Spanish, and gain confidence in discussing
relevant and current issues. These clubs emphasize conversation
rather than instruction, and they are led by native
speakers.
English and Spanish Conversation Clubs
are open to all current members of the ICU. While
ICU membership is required,
additional donations are welcomed but not required for the
conversation clubs.

WINTER WEATHER POLICY
In the event of dangerous winter weather, the ICU
follows the practice of the Greenville County School
District in determining whether to close. Thus, if
schools are closed, the ICU is closed and classes are
cancelled. If a weather situation develops during the
day, the ICU will attempt to notify students of
schedule changes. If in doubt, check the ICU website
or call 864-467-4579: we will record a message on the
answering machine and post a notice on the ICU website
if the ICU is closed due to bad weather.
