Each language in the department hosts a Language Conversation Group, sometimes known as a "Coffee Hour", to promote casual language use and improve fluency, comprehension, and our community relationships. Drop in and have a snack and a chat at any of our language hours! All language levels welcome and encouraged to attend.
