Activities

Most researchers agree that learning languages should be is fun, flexible, voluntary, and intrinsically motivated. At HSI we believe that with the guided activities that we offer in our programs, our students will not only improve their language skills, but also learn important skills that they will need as adults to succeed in today’s global society.

Our activities build from our lessons and represent an addition to the more formal learning that goes on in our classroom. All the activities are guided, safe and equally important, fun!
