Proud of students in UofG Modern Languages & Cultures and the Glasgow Erasmus Student Network putting on a Languages Cafe 6-9pm Monday 18 November (SMLC students, see email for details). Good opportunity to use languages, especially ahead of speaking exams, and meet people.


Bravo to pupils at Paisley Grammar School for their brilliant projects at today's languages showcase & to Miss Gallacher & staff. Great energy for languages. A pleasure to be a guest with colleagues from HE, Education Scotland, SCILT. Mónica Legazpi Cedric Moreau Shona Hugh Sheena SCILT


An inspiring set of 10 different Impact projects from UofG Modern Languages & Cultures researchers today, shared with a full room of staff & PGRs. Also interesting relationally, working not only as colleagues but as people, with values & expertise, who want to make a difference in areas they care about

If you can sing mass karaoke in different languages, you have nothing to fear in your oral exams.

Thanks for the beautiful venue to staff Glasgow University Union & our own Teresa Newman
