Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese Classes Offered by Cal State Fullerton at Garden Grove Center

Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach will be offering three new classes beginning next month in Garden Grove: “Fundamental Korean,” “Vietnamese for Vietnamese Speakers” and “Mandarin Chinese for International Business.”

The classes are the result of a joint effort by both universities.

Beginning the week of Aug. 30, the classes are being offered at the CSUF Garden Grove Center. The courses are available for credit to students enrolled in degree programs at the universities, as well as to community members, who may enroll through University Extended Education.

“There is a demand for these classes and by offering them in Garden Grove, we can provide service to students from both the Long Beach and Fullerton campuses,” said Angela Della Volpe, associate dean of the CSUF College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Korean language class meets Mondays and Thursdays from 5-6:45 p.m.; the Mandarin Chinese class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8:15 p.m. and the Vietnamese course, which is designed to help Vietnamese speakers improve their writing, reading and conversation skills, meets Wednesdays and Fridays from 7-8:15 p.m.

Additional information is available from Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at 657-278-3534 or University Extended Education at 657-278-2611.
