HOOSIER
LANGUAGE
INITIATIVE

Communication.
Connection.
Community.

The Hoosier Language Initiative (HLI) was created to expand opportunities for language learning in Bloomington and surrounding communities. HLI language programs are grounded in research on how languages are learned best: through meaningful communication, curiosity, and authentic interaction. 

At HLI, language is more than vocabulary and grammar—it's a way to communicate, build relationships, and participate more fully in the world around us. From your very first class, you'll use your new language to introduce yourself, solve real-world tasks, and connect with classmates and the broader Bloomington community.
