OUR MISSION
To provide the opportunity for adults to learn and practice languages.
OUR GOAL
To foster independence and stimulate communication among the diverse members of our community, in order to heighten social interaction and economic advancement.
Welcome​ to Language Central!
We are a non-profit community school for adults that offers conversational English, Spanish, Somali Language and Culture, and Chinese. Twice a year we offer an unique class called Spanish Through Music.

The fees that are collected through our Spanish and Somali classes help to provide low-cost or free English classes for the immigrants and refugees in the Northeast Minneapolis community. When you help yourself learn, you help others  to learn as well.

Language Central is always looking for volunteers to assist in ESL classes - a perfect opportunity for those interested in engaging with our community or for those seeking classroom hours needed to complete ESL certification.
