Jadavpur University’s SLL Department offers certificate courses to external applicants. They focus on languages like French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese. They have some really well known academics teaching languages such as Abhijit Mukherjee who has translated Murakami into Bangla {the first translation of Murakami in any Indian language!} in the Japanese Department and Rita Roy, a very well-known Portuguese scholar and translator. While the office at JU is a bit difficult to coordinate with, we would suggest you make your way down to the university soon to secure yourself a seat for their upcoming language courses.
