Our students and our faculty welcome new and current students to our unique language and culture program. We hope you will choose to begin or continue studying with us. In addition to scheduling an array of interesting language and culture courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, and Persian every quarter,  we offer tutoring services to help you advance your language skills and regular cultural programming such as language tables, movie nights, and guest speakers (we regularly collaborate with the MENA Student Association and the MENA Studies Program).  If you study with us, you will acquire important language skills and a fresh perspective on the cultures and people of the MENA region.  The MENA region stretches from Morocco to Iran, and it is one of the most diverse regions with more than sixty languages being spoken throughout.

This quarter, on October 25, 2023, MENA Languages is pleased to co-sponsor two workshops and a concert that will appeal to everyone interested in languages, music, and culture.  Featuring the acclaimed Jerusalem Youth Chorus, Uniting Voices Chicago, and the work of Dr. Nina Kraus, the free evening concert will be held in the beautiful Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall, and it is titled Music Connects Us.  Click here for more information on the events.
