Language tasters: Uzbek
Would you like to “taste”… a language?
We are used to tasting or enjoying food. However, is it possible to “taste” a language? For the third year, the Institute of Foreign Languages invites you to participate in language tasters, online events dedicated to minor and lesser-taught languages. Maybe not everyone would dare to learn a rare language, but during this hour-long event, we can find out more about it, hear how words and phrases sound and try to pronounce them ourselves. It is also an opportunity to learn about foreign countries and cultures from native speakers.
This year we invite you to participate in four language tasters: Taiwanese and Chinese, Canadian-Ukrainian dialect, Indonesian and Uzbek. Former or current international VMU students will help us to “taste“ them. All events will be conducted in English.
The events will take place each week of November on MS Teams
Please keep in mind that the time indicated is EET. Please check the time according to your time zone here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
