Located in the beautiful northwoods of Minnesota, Concordia Language Villages offers language immersion programs in 15 different languages. Twice each summer, we celebrate this with an international festival. On Friday afternoon, August 10, 2012, we will be celebrating in the 11 languages that currently have immersion programs in progress. For a more complete description of the activities and languages involved, please click on this site; International Days, 2012.
To get an idea of the fun and excitement experienced by the learners and staff, or to observe and interact with them and others, come visit with us on August 10. Admission and participation in activities is free, including but not limited to a tour of the 5 villages at this site. However, you may wish to bring some money to purchase food and beverages and some exotic items at the International Bazaar.
Be sure to be here for the opening ceremony at 2 PM, for the colorful entrance of all the different villages. And if you get a chance, stop by and say "hi" to me in the language of your choice at the International Cafe. We have soft drinks, ice cream and chairs in the shade for that brief respit you may be needing. Feel free to bring in food from one of the many stands near-by selling international cuisine.
