In honor of Día de los Muertos, we have created an ofrenda in our office. If you would like to, please come visit it. All are welcome.
If you'd like to connect with this practice, research Day of the Dead and you may be inspired to place some flowers, candles, bread, salt, and water with photos of your beloved friends and family who have crossed over to the spirit world. YLC's ofrenda will be up through November 2nd.
Last Friday, we had over 17 high schools from around Oregon attend FLIS Day! Thank you to our amazing presenters and volunteers for making this day so special.

YLC is the home for the Self Study Language Program
An innovative program for the study of less commonly taught languages—if 4 students or more suggest a language, we find a qualified tutor and put together a program.
For students in regular language classes
you'll find audio and video materials associated with your course in our Virtual Language Lab (duckID required). Voiceboards speaking assignments are usually done through your Canvas course.
Let us help you make your language teaching/learning more meaningful and productive. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
