Each December the Alliance features a "short term" between the 10-week fall and winter terms. It's a chance for new students to try out a short course and an opportunity for current students to work on a particular skill area such as phonetics, or to get in a some study/review hours prior to the January-March term. The December term contains several totally new offerings, including lunch-time conversation practice with Alliance staff, themed classes on "edible" expressions, and much much more! Click here for the class options which are listed from beginner through advanced. The December term features primarily adult classes but also offers art workshops for children (ages 7-14). Also offered is a free trial class for beginners who've never before attended an Alliance class.
