If you\u2019re not familiar, CL-150 Cohorts are weekly lesson streams in a given language at ILR level 2, 2+ or 3. A typical lesson is based on recently published authentic sources covering a topic of professional interest to USG linguists. USG language professionals subscribe to CL-150 Cohorts to maintain proficiency, build regional knowledge, and increase cultural expertise. Each lesson contains about two hours of relevant learning material and 12-15 interactive activities. You can see Cohort lessons in action in this 2-minute video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
