The Language Café is run by volunteers who are either native or fluent speakers of a huge variety of languages.

Each session, we suggest a theme to give you a starting point for conversation and to help you learn something new at every café. Every language has its own conversation group and where possible, we divide groups by language level, from beginner to advanced. Conversation groups are small so that everyone gets a chance to speak.

All members of the University community - students, staff and alumni - are very welcome to attend.

The next Language Café is taking place from 13:00 - 14:00 on 20 February 2025 in Polden Café. Advance booking is required and when you book, we ask you to complete a short form to tell us which language you wish to practise.

We provide free tea, coffee and snacks, but please bring your own cup.
