Wednesday Beginner Tables  

Beginner Tables are available for languages taught at Pomona (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish) every Wednesday. We provide extra support and materials on these days for language learners who are just getting started.

Beyond Languages Taught at Pomona

We value linguistic diversity at Oldenborg and have proudly hosted Language Tables for languages not taught at Pomona College, for decades. We accept proposals for new Language Tables at the start of each semester. Please check our website one week prior to each semester, for proposal details and deadlines.
