The Center for World Languages and Cultures

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world. ~Ludwig Wittgenstein

Welcome to the Center for World Languages and Cultures (CWLC). We are here to support and enrich your study of languages and cultures at DU.

Come to the CWLC to work with language tutors, take undergraduate placement or graduate proficiency exams, study less-commonly taught languages, and prepare for study abroad.

Upcoming

Directed Independent Language Study (DILS)

The CWLC is excited to continue to offer the DILS program for three languages this winter: Portuguese—Beginner and Intermediate; Swahili—Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; and Korean—Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Apply to take advantage of these great opportunities. Please contact us if you are interested in studying a language not taught at DU.
