Student Clubs & Conversation Hours

Conversation Hours

Our weekly conversation hours are a great way to lose your new-language shyness! Practice your speaking and listening skills with others who are on a language-learning journey. Conversation hours are casual and fun, often with special topics to enhance your cultural awareness. All levels are welcome!

There are individual conversation hours for Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian, Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian. Check our events page for dates/times.

Note: Conversation hours are open to UT students, faculty, and staff.
