TEACHERS

Our teachers are our greatest asset! We recruit, train and engage native speakers who volunteer their time to teach their language and share their culture. You can also teach YOUR language and share YOUR culture with our community! GLN is able to offer affordable, enjoyable and effective classes because of the invaluable contributions of our dedicated teachers.

IMPACT

Today, GLN answers the needs of many in the Washington, DC area. Language classes are often prohibitively expensive. Less common languages (such as Albanian or Quechua) are not even available. GLN positively impacts the DC community by offering affordable classes in a wide array of languages using a unique approach.
