The UP Department of Linguistics Extramural Classes offers online classes for interested language learners in Bahasa, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Thai. Each class accommodates 20-24 students and averages 26 classes per cycle. Cycles 1 and 2 started early this year while Cycle 3 will begin on September 2020.

“We are still finalizing the details but it is slated to begin this August and will be a 2-week registration period,” said Michael Manahan, coordinator, Asian Languages Extramural Classes.

The program is part of the UP Department of Linguistics’ efforts to support Filipinos who wish to learn a new language, whether it be for research, personal development or career growth, among others.

Cycle 3 will be conducted online, via ZOOM, in order to reach out to more aspiring Filipino polyglots during this pandemic. “We will be offering Saturday classes that meet once a week for 3 hours per session and weekday classes that meet twice a week for 2 hours per session for a total of 30 hours. Classes will be from September 26 to November 28,” Manahan added.
