Language
During their stay in Kathmandu, students will attend Nepali language classes.  An experienced teacher teaches situational and conversational language.  Learning to communicate with the people around you provides an important entry into the host community.  Students find that people appreciate their effort to learn the local language and are eager to practice with them.

"I thought the program was coordinated very well, and I had a world of resources and information at my disposal just by picking my coordinator's brain on any of the topics that we were studying (and some that we were not).  I came to Kathmandu with few expectations and the program greatly surpassed them.”
