Spanish, Polish, Irish and more. Take a free language class with Una Europa
To mark the European Day of Languages 2026, Una Europa invites everyone at Leiden University to join a free, online language taster session on Friday, 25 September.
These ‘bite-size’ sessions will introduce you to the basics of a new language in just 45 minutes. It’s a fun and interactive way to explore new languages and connect with peers from across Europe.
The full programme of language tasters will be released in early September. You can already sign up to be notified when registrations open.
