What is Language PAL?
PAL stands for Peer Assisted Learning and isn’t exclusive to Bath – thousands of students attend PAL sessions around the world every week.
Language PAL is an informal way to learn or develop language skills in a relaxed and friendly way. The sessions are run by students who are native, or near-native speakers of a particular language.
Running weekly across Semester One and Semester Two, they are usually split between beginner or more intermedite or advanced level.
You don't need to be learning a language as part of your course to attend - perhaps you're planning a trip, have always been interested in learning a new language, or just want to build or develop on exisiting skills.
Each session covers a different topic, from film to food, music to animals and you get to learn about the culture and dialects of each place too!
