Learning a foreign language is a must in today's interconnected world. However, acquiring the mechanics of a foreign language – grammar, conjugations and sentence structure – can be daunting to many. At Rice, so-called "language tables" at the residential colleges give students a chance to hone and flex their developing language skills over informal lunches with other students and faculty.
With the start of the fall semester, language tables are popping up at the residential colleges around campus, and feature conversations in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
