      Have you ever wanted to learn a new language? My idea is to have language classes at University where you can just come and learn on weekly basis. The idea is to create a language-learning sessions for all University students. It could be for FREE or just £1/£2 per session like social sports at University (Social Football, Rugby..) Learning and understanding foreign languages can not only boost your CV but also enables you to connect with other people and discover new cultures.

    5:05pm on 1 Jun 18 An awesome idea! Would be great to get as many different languages on board from across the world subject to availability and students that are fluent or speak many languages. Some universities have programmes to do a course in a language or two as something else.

    9:11am on 12 Jun 18 Hello, this is a great idea! Can I suggest that you contact myself vpcommunity@derbyunion.co.uk and Rhys White rhys.white@derbyunion.co.uk as we are currently organising the 'Give it a Go' timetable for Freshers and think we could host a 'Give a Language a Go!' as part of this. Thanks

    2:30am on 29 Aug 18 Brillant idea! Can I request for Mandarin, and can it be recorded so UDOL students have access to it also?

    5:01pm on 16 Nov 18 Hi there! We're currently exploring options to set this up, so watch this space! Also, one potential avenue is setting up a language learning society, which would generate funding to hire a teacher. Any more feedback would be great, so send me an email at vpcommunity@derbyunion.co.uk :)
