Title: Article: California Military Center Teaches Language, Cultural Skills
Body: From http://www.voanews.com/english/2009-06-17-voa49.cfm California Military Center Teaches Language, Cultural Skills By Mike O'Sullivan June 17, 2009 One of the world's leading language schools is located in the California city of Monterey. Since 1941, the Defense Language Institute has taught linguistic skills to members of the U.S. military. The center's commandant, Colonel Sue Ann Sandusky, says language courses vary in length according to their difficulty for an English-speaker. "Our resident basic courses range from six months for the so-called easy languages, the romance languages - French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian - up to 18 months for the languages that are most difficult for an English-speaker to learn - Chinese, Arabic, Japanese and Korean," she said. Once a year, on what is called Language Day, students get a break from their studies as the center opens its doors to middle and high school students from around California. The young visitors are introduced to the world's cultures.

Title: Article: Classes Aim to Preserve Urban Indians' Heritage
Body: From http://www.seattlepi.com/local/6420ap_nm_indians_summer_school.html Classes aim to preserve urban Indians' heritage By HEATHER CLARK July 5, 2009 Brittany Arviso’s parents hope that a new Navajo language summer school offered by Albuquerque Public Schools this year will eventually help her learn more about her culture and language. Her 10-year-old brother, Lucas, is in the classes, and Brittany may be able to join next year if the program is expanded. The program aims to help Navajo and Isleta Pueblo children living in the Albuquerque area stay connected to their heritage and thereby motivate them to achieve more academically, said Daisy Thompson, director of the district's Indian Education Department. While tribes nationwide often offer summer native language programs, it's uncommon for them to be offered in public schools, said Inee Slaughter, executive director of the Santa Fe-based Indigenous Language Institute, which tries to help preserve native languages worldwide.
