A language dies about every two weeks. Make a positive change by taking on this threat to the world’s linguistic heritage. In our close-knit multicultural and multilingual community, you’ll examine the building blocks of languages, how they develop and change, how people learn them and the way regional accents differ. As you explore other fascinating language-based questions, you’ll find lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge both inside and outside the classroom. In small classes, you’ll have close contact with expert linguists and engage with a community passionate about languages.
