Auditor Option
This course offers an auditor option at half the regular tuition. Auditors receive access to all class recordings and may attend live sessions as observers.
Because live sessions are designed to create a safe, interactive space for active language use, auditors who attend live are asked to remain muted during class, aside from greetings or when explicitly invited by the instructor. This helps preserve the flow of the lesson and supports enrolled participants in taking linguistic risks.
If you’re interested in active participation, discussion, or feedback, we recommend enrolling as a full participant.
