English Lessons
- ENGLISH ROOM NEW!
You can take free one-on-one or small group (up to 3 people) lessons with a native English teacher for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on availability. You're free to ask for anything you'd like to work on, such as pronunciation, email writing, presentations, study abroad advice, or conversation practice. This year's teacher is from the UK, so it's a great opportunity for those interested in British English. This course is available for students and staff of the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences/Faculty of Agriculture.
