More about the American Language Center Yaoundé
The American Language Center, Yaoundé is a vital service that began in 1972 as a section of the United States Information Service of the Embassy of the United States in Yaoundé Cameroon. In 1995, it was transferred to an association and became the American Language Center, Yaoundé, when the embassy decided to discontinue English language training as one of its services.
