This activity is for the whole University Community and includes the languages English, French, Portuguese, German and Mapuzungun. |
On Thursday 26th of October, at 5:30 p.m., the next Linguistic Café session by the Student Development Office (DDE) will take place. The activity will take place at the refectory Los Notros and wants to promote the use of different languages in conversations that are open to the community and free of charge. This is an invitation for the whole University Community. Five languages will be offered: English, French, Portuguese, German and Mapuzungun. If you are interested, you simply have to get to the indicated place at the indicated time. This activity focuses on the different languages. The conversations take place at different language tables and are guided by a native speaker or a language expert. Another goal of this innovative activity is to get fluent speakers, native speakers and beginners together, in order to get to know each other and to practice and improve their language skills in an entertaining group activity. The activity will take place on October 26th and November 9th, 16th and 23rd, at the refectory Los Notros, always at 5 pm. “This activity has been introduced and developed in different parts of the world in order to promote and practice different languages. Considering our reality at the UFRO, we thought of these languages, including Mapudungun as a kind of responsibility and because of its relevance for our environment”, says Camilo Vásquez who is responsible for this activity and has the support of the DDE. He also adds that the Linguistic Café is a valuable alternative for those students of the University who plan to do an exchange period abroad, because this way they can practice the language of their destination and listen to the experiences of other students who have already completed their exchange period abroad.
