ESL Classes
Our ESL classes prepare immigrant and refugee adults for everyday life and the American working environment. Students in our classes learn basic English vocabulary and grammar, as well as interpersonal communication skills.
Students also become familiar with basic computer and internet skills through classes held in our computer lab. As part of the Civics content, students learn about Minnesota history and local, state and federal government through field trips and guest speakers.
Hmong Cultural Center is a member of the Saint Paul Community Literacy Consortium.
