A FRIENDS' SPONSORED PROGRAM
ESL Conversational Classes
We sponsor 3 semesters of English as a second language conversational classes. Our Spring, Fall, and Winter 10-week classes are designed for people who are at the 'advanced beginner' and 'intermediate' level who want to join others in a lively hour of conversational English on a variety of topics.
Classes are taught by experienced tutors. You'll receive friendly advice on common usage, learn vocabulary and explore common idioms. Drop in for one class or attend the full 10-week semester.
Classes are held Wednesday nights (except during the summer) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hoboken Public Library.
See the Library calendar for dates.
