Language Tables and Exchanges
Language Tables
Language tables provide students (and oftentimes community members) opportunities to practice a language in an informal, low-stakes context. Most take place on campus or at a nearby location. Contact the individuals listed below for more information on the language table you’d like to attend!
Language Exchanges
The student organization Language Connect matches students learning a language with proficient/fluent speakers of the same language to practice their conversational language skills. Sign up to be a tutee here, or volunteer to be a tutor here! Questions? Reach out to languageconnectuw@gmail.com
