The Department of Languages and Indigenous Studies is committed to offering you an enriching university experience and the resources you need to succeed.

Have fun while you practice the language in a relaxed environment. In our conversation groups, you will play games, watch videos, listen to music or discuss the latest news… all in German, Ojibwe or Spanish.
