Immerse yourself in languages this summer
UW-Madison and visiting students also have the opportunity to enroll in our intensive summer institutes. This experience includes classroom instruction, field trips and other fun cultural activities. It’s a great chance to learn languages that aren’t taught very often in the United States, from Arabic to Uzbek.
