The Language Centre
How can we help you with your language learning?
At the Language Centre, we offer you a variety of ways to:
- learn a language from scratch,
- keep up a language you're currently learning,
- pick up a language you've previously studied.
We offer self-study resources in over 190 different languages!
Do you need help getting started?
- We offer free, 30 minute, 1-to-1 advising appointments with a language adviser focussed on your learning goals.
- We offer a range of speaking practice activities:
- Conversation Hours
- Conversation Exchange
- Friends without Frontiers
Now, why not watch our virtual presentations?
The following presentations will give you an overview of what's available and an insight into how some of our activities are run.
