Foreign Language Learning

Hello and welcome to the Wikiversity Centre for Foreign Language Learning. Here you may learn foreign languages and explore their cultures, as well as teach others the languages that you speak.

Perhaps you are also interested in the Wikiversity's schools of various ethnic studies.

The study of the structure of a language and its development is called linguistics. Wikiversity's School of Linguistics is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Note: Participants interested in language projects not yet featured here can coordinate with others at the Center's Participant Coordination page.
