Mundo Lingo incorporates a small informal lesson typically featuring a
student group, staff or faculty member speaking a non-English language and sharing a little bit of their culture and teaching a few phrases. This is a great fun way to get to know another language or at least knowing how to say essential phrases such as “Hi, my name is ______”; “Thank you!”
or “Where’s the bathroom?!”.
