Language Courses in Denver

Start Learning

Denver is a city of many cultures and has long attracted immigrants from all over the world. You just need to go around the city to see it. For example, on Santa Fe Boulevard, you can find a neighborhood filled with Latino art galleries, while Asian heritage can be found on South Federal Boulevard, where there are many Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese shops, restaurants and markets. Travel north on Federal, and there are Mexican and South American restaurants, stores, bakeries and even supermarkets that specialize in stocking Latino products and foods. As you can see, the city is thriving with diversity and multicultural communities.

As reported by the 2011 census, there are almost 100,000 individuals living in Denver who were born outside of the U.S (representing 15% of Denver’s total population!). The largest group of expats in Denver speak Spanish, though there are more than 145 other mother tongues in the city, including Vietnamese, Arabic, and Italian. Start connecting with these growing communities on a more intimate level by learning a foreign language in Denver. But the benefits of bilingualism are not limited to socializing. You will also be able to access new professional opportunities and enhance cultural experiences in Denver by speaking a second or even third language. Contact us at Language Trainers and we will help you achieve your goals!

Where to Study Foreign Languages in Denver: Denver is home to many prestigious higher education establishments, such as the University of Denver and the University of Colorado Denver, where you can increase your language level and obtain a diploma. The latter’s Department of Languages and Literatures offers multiple undergraduate degree programs, such as majors in French and Francophone, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish or minors in Chinese, Japanese, or Latin. Additionally, the department offers beginning-level study in Arabic and Greek, so you will surely find a language that interests you. Meanwhile, if you are not interested in studying at university, you may decide to take a course at one of the many language schools around the city. One of them is Language Trainers, where we specialize in designing tailor-made courses in any language you choose. From the popular French or Spanish to the rare Zulu or Wolof, we have native-speaking instructors that can prepare lessons that suit your needs, preferences, and requirements. You just need to contact us to get started right away!

Where to Practice Foreign Languages in Denver: If you sign up for a course with us at Language Trainers, you will surely achieve fluency in a short time. Our native-speaking instructors will tailor each lesson to your individual needs, correct your pronunciation and intonation, and teach you how to use idioms correctly. But practicing outside the classroom is essential as well, and it will help you improve your accent, speaking and listening skills and gain more confidence. Naturally, practicing your target language with native or fluent speakers is the best choice, and meet-up language clubs are the best places to find foreign language speakers of all levels. For example, you can join the International Foods and Cultures Meetup, a language exchange group for anyone who loves eating and learning about different cultures, countries, and languages. They welcome all ages and levels of proficiency, so you will have the chance to learn, share, and have fun with like-minded people, even if you have only just started your language lessons with us! Another option is to take part in the events organized by the Culture Experience Meetup, an exchange group formed with the aim of carrying out different cultural activities in and around the Denver area.

Language Jobs in Denver: Countless professions in the United States and in Denver, in particular, require daily interaction with people who speak many different languages. Learning a foreign language in the city, then, will open up new career opportunities and help you stand out in a competitive global economy. For example, plenty of start-ups and software companies based in Denver are expanding into overseas markets and are always looking for new employees to add to their international teams, such as Pax8, ThrivePass, SkyRun, or Velocity Global. Also, Denver is home to many international chambers of commerce and business councils, like those of the Chinese, Japanese, Spanish or Lebanese, meaning you will have plenty of institutions to contact in case you would like to establish your own business abroad. Furthermore, these chambers usually organize networking events and conferences to give their members a chance to connect and get to know each other. There is no better occasion to put your language skills to use and build long-lasting business relations with foreign entrepreneurs and business owners!

Using Language to Experience Culture in Denver: All throughout the year, Denver celebrates its diversity with a number of events, celebrations and festivals. From the nation's largest Cinco de Mayo Festival to the annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival , Denver has an event for everyone. If you are studying German, for example, you should not miss the regional Oktoberfest. This family-friendly festival commemorates the world-famous tradition of German heritage, where you can enjoy music from national touring groups, performances by international dancers, children's activities, and authentic drinks (mostly beer) and cuisine. Also, different organizations host dozens of film festivals, such as those of the Japanese or Spanish, where you will be able to enjoy the best of these countries’ movies screened in their original languages and put your listening skills to use. Certainly, it does not matter which language you are studying; you will be able to explore its culture without ever leaving Denver. You can check out the Events in Denver website to find a list of all the cultural events organized throughout the city!
