Weekly Arabic Table 

Want to practice your Arabic?

Join us every week this semester in the evening in Trumbull Dining Hall for our weekly

Arabic table. Whether you’re a beginner or fluent, come chat with other Arabic speakers,

practice MSA or dialects, and enjoy some conversation.  All levels are welcome! We look forward to seeing you there! 

Ramadan Schedule for Arabic Table

To accommodate students and TAs observing Ramadan, the Arabic Table meetings during the month will be held in a common room near the Trumbull Dining Hall (instead of inside the dining hall). Meetings will also be shortened (less than one hour).

These adjustments will be in place for the following meetings:

  • Thursday, March 6th 
  • Wednesday, March 26th
