Languages@BU is your opportunity to learn a new language or to brush up your existing skills. We have a wide range of resources for you to choose from including book based courses from the library with accompanying audio and video on Panopto and links to external websites such as foreign language films via the Box of Broadcasts (BoB).
We also run Conversation Clubs for 6 weeks in semester 1 and 8 weeks in semester 2 in each language and level. These informal clubs are "facilitated" by students who are native speakers of the languages on offer. The clubs give you the opportunity to practise the language as well as meet other students who are learning the same language.
For all audio and video files which are linked to the book based resources in the library we use Panopto.
Click on the book images on the language resource pages and you will be taken to Panopto and the specific resources for the book title you have clicked on.
