Starting tonight, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday students

will eat and enjoy speaking a second language at “Dinner and a

Language.”

The program is modeled after the “Dinner and a Movie” program

Friday nights on TBS, and is sponsored by International

Programs, said Sue Songer, international student adviser.

Dinner will be served in the Presidential Dining Room of

Pemberton Hall beginning at 5 p.m. The dinner, which is

Pemberton Hall’s planned meal for the day, can be purchased for

$5.75 from a student’s Panther Card or with cash, Songer said.

She said attendees can enjoy dining and conversation in French

on Monday nights, Spanish on Tuesday nights and German on

Wednesday nights.

“It’s a chance to enjoy speaking your first language or

practice your second language in the beautiful Presidential

Dining Room,” Songer said.

The program was put into place for the rest of the semester to

encourage foreign language on campus, she said.

“We’re targeting students who have studied abroad or who plan

to study abroad and to help students develop their language,”

Songer said. “It’s also a good opportunity for international

students to speak their first language.”
