Wow!
Too bad The Foreign Language Magnet School at South Philadelphia High
School's program was killed during Paul Vallas' tenure.
For 35 years on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00 PM and
Saturday Mornings from 9:00 AM-12 PM, anyone no matter their age could come
and learn nearly 15 Foreign Languages absolutely FREE.
They ranged from Levels One to Four and Conversational Classes.
I recall, (after much deliberation), when we added Arabic and Mandarin.
Not enough support. Well, so it goes...
I remember that place! went there for italian, back in the
day...
There is an Arabic Language School at the Mosque at 45th & Walnut, but I do
not know the particulars or the cost or whether one has to be a Muslim.
very good idea, wilma, thanks! plus this morning I've
received several more great leads and contacts from others
-- it's great how we have such terrific resources in our
midst...
