Modern Languages

In this increasingly globalized economy, employers look highly upon candidates who can communicate in more than one language. With the Modern Languages program at Douglas College, you can explore a new language and culture, build on your existing knowledge or get started on your way to a language-based career. Douglas offers beginner to advanced courses in six languages. You'll learn in a hands-on environment with experienced and enthusiastic instructors.
