Discover the Language and Culture Lab
Your campus passport to language and culture.
Building 15, Room 1105
The Language and Culture Lab is UNF’s hub for exploring the world—right here on campus. Drop in to practice your second language, meet new people, and experience cultural activities in a friendly, relaxed setting. Whether you’re a seasoned language learner or simply curious, you’ll find conversation, resources, and opportunities waiting for you.
What You’ll Find in the Lab (All Free!)
- Weekly conversation meetups and board-gaming tables
- Faculty-led “Culture Table” sessions
- Practice and tutoring with advanced Spanish and French majors
- Materials and technology for language and cultural learning
- Career and professional development workshops for language majors
- Study abroad and research opportunity workshops
- Meetings for Spanish, French, and Chinese clubs
- Festive cultural events throughout the year
You can also browse our small library of books in Chinese, French, and Spanish, or relax with a cup from our tea-and-coffee corner. Informal advising is available by appointment with the department chair, a faculty member, or an advanced language major.
Plan Your Visit
Enrollment in language or culture courses is encouraged but not required—students from all majors and community partners are welcome. The lab is open daily during regular business hours, except when a class is scheduled.
