I was privileged and honored to receive full funding and scholarship to study Hausa (Beginner) this summer through AFLI/FLAS. This program is an intensive 8-week course, taught 4-7 hours/day, with homework, conversation, quizzes, exams, and language proficiency training. By the end, I should be competent at an intermediate level. I am very grateful to IIE, UF CAS, and other sources for receiving this invaluable training.
