In order to support our community of linguistically diverse students, the Poorvu Center, in partnership with other academic programs, provides resources to support language learners at various levels.
“Language study is essential for becoming a responsible global citizen and for connecting with other humans.”

Language Tasting
Sponsored by the Academic Strategies Program and the Center for Language Study, Language Tastings introduce students to the variety of languages and cultures that can be studied at Yale through a series of expert-taught, multilingual microlessons.

The Center for Language Study welcomes language learners to a virtual and physical space devoted to the study of languages, providing resources for students of languages, as well as support for nonnative English speakers.
