The next Multilingual Cafe (OLE SIG) is scheduled for Wednesday July 27th, 2022 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm and will take place online. - The topic is "Persian Language and the the Relationship of English and Persian Languages" presented by Abdollah Dodangeh (Rissho University).
The Persian language is among the oldest Indo-European language families. It has a long history stretching back to 500 BC. The Persian Language can be classified into Classical Persian, Middle Persian, and Modern Persian. The entire long history Persian vocabularies have made their way into the English language in various and circuitous ways.
The OLE SIG wants to provide a space to meet and share using languages other than English, creating a community of practice. This is the Multilingual Café: meet and chat in your favorite language. The languages available depend on those attending on the day (for example French, German, Spanish, Thai, Hungarian, Chinese, Tagalog, Japanese and many more). After a short presentation we will meet in breakout rooms where different languages are used for further discussions. (Lingua Franca: English and Japanese)
We meet online using zoom, please sign-up for receiving the zoom-credentials.
