Welcome to the Language Studio of our Divinity School.

Lessons or classes are available online in modern languages, such as German and French, but also in classical languages, such as Latin and Greek. 

Lessons or classes are typically given via video conferencing (GoogleMeet or Zoom). Instruction can also be held in person for those who prefer and/or live in Eastern Nebraska. 

All instruction can be scheduled during day-time and evening hours as arranged, including weekends. 

Instructor

All classes are currently taught by Mar Melchizedek, Professor of Classical Languages, or his designee.
