Study a Language

Did you know Pitt offers language courses for over 30 languages? If you want to scale up to an academic specialization, there are many language majors, minors, and certificates to choose from. The RHLMC is a place for language enthusiasts like you! 

Your Language Class

Your language instructor might schedule your class to be held in a RHLMC classroom. Please check our LAB CALENDAR, linked on the top right (↗). You can also get your class textbook CDs or media duplicated at RHLMC, if the publisher permits you to do so. 

Coming in on Your Own

Independent users are welcome to come in on their own to use our PC and Mac computers. Please check our LAB CALENDAR (top right ↗) first to ensure availability; the machines in the lab space are free to use where there is no class scheduled or with a green-colored class (meaning independent users are allowed).

Below are some of the activities you can do at our center:

  • Practice language using our center's resources. We provide language-learning materials such as books, software, web links, and more. Please consult the Materials page on the left for specific materials available for individual languages.
  • Make audio or video recordings of your own speech.
  • Watch foreign language movies. We have a collection of foreign movies you can watch in our labs. Please ask the receptionist to show you the DVD shelf, so you can see which movies are available in your favorite foreign language.
  • Play games! Bananagrams in Spanish, French, Hebrew, anyone? Apples to Apples in Spanish? 

Graduate Students

Graduate students who are currently teaching a language course are entitled to the full range of services that are offered to instructors and faculty. Please consult the Instructors page

In addition, graduate students engaged in language-related research projects are entitled to our research support, just like faculty. Please consult our Researchers page
