Beyond the Classroom
Conversation Tables & Exchanges
Practice your language skills in an informal setting at a language table, or get matched with a peer to practice your skills with!
Student Organizations
Look for student organizations related to languages or cultures. UW–Madison has so many, you’ll be sure to find one that excites you and connects you to peers with similar interests.
Study Abroad
Study abroad can help you understand other perspectives, worldviews, and cultures; improve your language proficiency; develop your academic, professional, and leadership skills; and build your international network for future opportunities abroad.
Intern Abroad
Pursuing an internship in which you use your language gives you the opportunity to professionalize your skills. Your language abilities and cross-cultural communication skills will help the company you work for – and will help you in your future job search!
International Learning Communities
Language Houses in the International Learning Community (ILC) offer the opportunity to live your language. You’ll share meals with other residents and faculty, take classes taught by ILC faculty directors, and enjoy special activities like films and social events.
