This short TED video demonstrates the origins of English, demonstrating in the process its diversity.

This semester’s Conversation Partners Program is about to begin. Are you interested in joining?

The Conversation Partners Program matches native and nonnative speakers of English for informal conversations. It is a great way for nonnative students to gain confidence in English, for native speakers to gain experience in communicating across language barriers, and for both native and nonnative speakers to expand their cultural knowledge, make friends, and build a network of professional contacts. To participate, you should commit to meeting your partner at least six times this semester for about an hour each. At the end, you will receive a certificate—a great way to enhance your resume. The CPP also offers fun events throughout the semester.
